Whenever I visit the KCC Farmers Market, I am always reminded of the day I first moved to Hawaii 15…read moreyears ago. Even back then, this place had the same vibrancy and legacy of local Hawaii. I remember how the everyday, friendly conversations between vendors and customers felt strangely comforting amid the lively noise and bustle. We, as buyers, are grateful to receive the blessings of locally grown products sold with such care and sincerity by the vendors. It is natural that health-conscious people gather here, but I truly hope that the simple, genuine communication unique to this place will continue forever. No one would doubt that the fresh local produce of Hawaii nourishes both body and soul. Even after living here for many years, I still find myself recharging my energy at KCC when I feel tired. After all, KCC Farmers Market remains my favorite place and location. KCCファーマーズマーケットに来ると、私は必ず、ハワイに住み始めた15年前のあの日のことを思い出します。 あの頃もここには、ローカルハワイの活気とレガシーがありました。 売り手と買い手の、いつも通りの和やかな会話が、賑やかな喧騒の中で、なぜか心地よく耳に入ってきたのを覚えています。 そんなローカルの売り手が心を込めて販売する地産品の恩恵を、私たち買い手はありがたく受け取っています。 健康志向の人々が集うのももっともですが、ここでしか得られない素朴なコミュニケーションは、これからもずっと続いてほしいものです。 ローカルハワイの元気な地産品が、私たちの心と身体を元気にしてくれることに、誰も疑問を持たないでしょう。 長年ハワイに住む私でさえ、疲れた時には今でもKCCでエナジーチャージをしています。 やはり私はKCCファーマーズマーケットのロケーションが一番好きです。

Parking is always a challenge at any farmer's market so that's okay. What I enjoyed is the food options for those that were there. I didn't notice to much produce there. There was a one-man operation making Pasta and he was busy. One of the guests had waited one hour for her order but she was fine with that which means his pasta must be amazing.

I don't know why I love a farmers market the way I do, but I really really love a farmers market…read more That said, I did not love this one. It wasn't very well organized, there was no sense of community, and pray little number of vendors. And there was a good number of vendors who had their boxed up products there but their booths weren't manned or even set up at start time. Believing that they were just running on island time, I waited a good 20-30 minutes, but I ended up losing interest. I took a few laps really intent on making some purchases. I ended up getting some fruit to throw into my fridge at the hotel which always comes in clutch, but there wasn't much else that was exciting. Only drop by if you're staying at or near the Hyatt Regency, and lower any expectations that you may have of a farmers market.

This is actually a true farmers market where the focus is fresh produce and fruits. There were…read morethree vendors selling produce or fruit. I suppose it's not really the most exciting farmers market if you're more familiar with the KCC one or ones where there's many prepared foods vendors. There was one prepared food vendor and one extra art vendor so not a whole lot to explore. There's a nearby playground where it's focused for the bigger kids since it's mostly climbing focused. The marketplace where this is located, if you aren't familiar, is filled with many stores that sell food and even have a Safeway grocery store. Parking was relatively easy on a Sunday since there's a big parking lot.

Love this Manoa Farmers' Market in Manoa Marketplace as I needed a break from errands and thought that a quick drive up Manoa would be it and after a some lunch and visit to Fendu Boulangerie for a breakfast bite tomorrow I noticed some tents in front of the post office area. With what seems to just four vendors two are selling vegetables all are pre priced and packed making it very easy to browse and shop, there was an art seller and lastly was for some flowers at $5 for a small bunch it was just right for the butsudan and I just loved the lavender shade of anthurium. No veggies for me today though there were some that I wanted but had more errands to run but know that they're here and is a quick and easy place to find some fresh produce and veggies along with supporting local. Thank you!

Attn: No Honolulu Farmer's Market next Wednesday July 22, Honolulu Farmers Market at the Blaisdell…read moreCenter moved over to Kapiolani Blvd side, the former location was on the grassy area in front of the concert hall. I just recently found this out when I visited the Farmer's Market few months ago, I panicked because I thought the are no longer having the market. If I was lived or work close by I would look forward to Wednesdays, the Honolulu Farmer's Market happens once a week from 4-7pm. Free parking , I try to make a stop here if I need veggies, fruits for the midweek. It is out of the way for me come from east side and coming from long work day, I am already exhausted. This Farmer's Market is smaller compared to the one at Kapiolani Community College on Saturdays, less than 20 vendors. Noticed some vendors from the KCC FM, a quick stop to 2 booths for Thai Banana, butter lettuce and chayote fruit. Got what I needed, quick walk to the end to see browse the other vendors. Although the food and drink booth looked great, one day I will make it a Honolulu Farmer's Market night where we go for our walk here, grab goods, enjoy and then walk back home! For this visit, I am happy with my produce, can't wait to prep my salads and cook a dish with the chayote. Love farm fresh veggies!!

I usually go ever week to grab a pot pie for my wife for dinner. Ho Farms and King's Farm are great places to stop to grab a restock of produce during the middle of the week.

Far from a large scale production of a farmers market on Oahu, the Kaimuki Open market definitely…read moreisn't one of those. Close friends (if you come here enough times) and deals can be felt here on a daily basis. It's a very definitely small scale operation that takes up very little room and scores up many delightful fruits and fresh produce for your daily needs. It's not much of a theatrical production, as the larger farmer's markets in various spots around urban Honolulu and across Oahu, but there is some value associated here. It's your usual cadre of local residents that want to enjoy the fresh produce that comes with farmer's markets, but want to be within the reaches of Kaimuki town. The Kaimuki Open Market could be categorized as a small niche of people bartering and selling among themselves, but why do it in the public eye? Not sure about that, but I guess it's the way it is here and buying among friends and family is like that, along with passers by who are also looking for a great deal as well. The overall experience here was definitely pleasant, but weird at the same time. I'd come back here more, if the farmer's market either at Kapiolani Community College did not have the stuff I need. The Kaimuki Open Market is neatly tucked away in the side streets of Kaimuki town, located on 12th Avenue across the street from the First Hawaiian Bank - Kaimuki branch. They usually operate on Saturdays, Is use you where I see them. Not sure if the do this open market on the week days, but I will be surprised if they do. If they do, it will probably during normal working hours. Usually cash will be king here, since I do not believe they take credit cards at all. Luckily there is a major bank next door or across the street, namely First Hawaiian Bank and Bank of Hawaii. Parking can be plenty for all, if you use the municipal parking lot but you would have to pay money. There's always street parking nearby but there will be some walking involved to get here. Of course, there is no admission fee, so that's always a good thing. Sometimes I will see someone new in the neighborhood buying stuff from here and it's always gratifying to see familiar faces periodically on the weekends. While you won't find vendors that will cook up a tasting meal, you just find a small assortment of produce that is fresh and compatible with whatever you are cooking / preparing for the day or week. Take this opportunity to venture out in your comfort zone and come here, as the alternative to supermarkets, Costco, and other nearby localized farmer's markets in and around town. Since I do live nearby, I thought it would be a nice gesture to check things out here on a recent Saturday and hit up the Kapiolani Community College mega farmer's market later on. For me, it was the perfect opportunity to get what produce I needed for work and home, while being quite close to home really. I can shop here on the weekends and know that I can get the best price and deal for my hard-earned dollar, as well as seeking other deals for friends and family by shopping here. While Whole Foods and various supermarkets are are very much in the Vinicity, shopping here at the Kaimuki open market can be adventurous and be out of your comfort zone. It's always nice to look at first. You'd probably would find something you're looking for, but for a better deal. Support local! B+ *1400th review and 100th first to review on Yelp! Yeh!! :)

I've been to several farmers markets but for this to be just one vendor with such variety is…read moreamazing! They had good prices and lots of different things. Potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, papaya, banana, lemons, and much more. I appreciate markets that have a good selection. I also like there location! Lots of options for parking either on the street (12th ave is closet but also kokohead ave or Waialae). There are 2 big parking lots (one is metered and one is gated) I would go to the gated one because it's free for less than 10 or 15mins but metered you need to put something in it. I will definitely be back to this market!

I want to give it more stars but I have my reasons. I don't want to put down any business…read moreespecially small businesses in there. There are a ton and they are all fun. It's just extremely congested and sometimes too busy inside. Cleanliness can be an issue for some but for the most part I'm buying vegetables and fruit and that's enough for me. I used to take my knives to be sharpened in this area but this review is just for the vendors I shopped at. I needed papaya, fresh vegetables and fruits. I saw many vendors that share the same items so sooner or later if you become a regular you will have your favorite vendor you will lean towards. They have vendors that sell already prepared mainly Filipino foods and desserts. They have vendors that sell you fresh fish and seafood as well as fresh meats. I always go to farmers market but I decided to start shopping here. It's convenient for what I was looking for. I see I can buy seasonings and noodles (dry packets) as well as many other things. I will return again when I'm running low on stuff. The prices aren't terrible but not that inexpensive either. You can find some bargain vegetables that aren't pretty but for $1 a piece it's good if you're using them up that day. I say try and go around and see what you can find. Plenty of convenient parking. Nearby outside there's Kamehameha bakery, sugoi'a and other eateries. Nearby is Costco and Costco gas and Home Depot so you can't go wrong.

ALSO, Just get to know the farmers you buy from. There's 1 guy here in Salt lake Plaza Landmark meters farmers market you don't want to buy from. He's the very 1st Van when you enter. On the right side - His charges are ridiculous, his scale is off TOO and charges double for his papayas, bananas. Just make sure with everyone you purchase from you know what you being charged. There use to be more vendors, now maybe a handful only. Why? Crops not producing?
