Bates farm has a stand at the upcountry farmers market located in Makawao, Maui.
We stopped by for their beautiful farm grown produce.
They had large lovely mangoes at the front of the stand. Call me naive but I snagged one and went to check out. At $7 a pound this ONE mango ran me $14. I clarified with the (what looks like the son) the price and he laughed and said that was right.... I purchased the mango but should have just passed in the moment.
Even for island prices that seems crazy. Upon further investigation on other review platforms that seems like their MO.
Definitely check out other local vendors at the market :( read more
