    Had all the basics needed. And the staff were very friendly. The prices were lower than expected for Hawaii.

    This grocery store has the best selection on the island and reasonable prices on meat and fish.

    Wow Farm - Wow Farm's many varieties of heirloom tomatoes. Sweet!

    We had read an article in the Big Island Traveler Magazine a few months back on Wow Farm's and how…read moreawesome their tomatoes were. What I appreciated was the farm to table concept, since they supply many restaurants along the Kona coast, with their plump, sweet, non slimy, or gritty tomatoes. Mike and Tricia have read and gained wisdom from the professionals on how you can adjust the sweetness of the tomatoes, which I was dumbfounded and never knew that you could tweak a tomato. This is a business that involves all of the ohana and is done so with passion and a commitment towards quality. Mike and Tricia have a heart to share their knowledge and wisdom with other farmers as well, to build them up and see them become fruitful. There is a push towards bringing the community together and truly getting to know your neighbors. They have gone out of their way to share what they have with others, those who can afford it and to those who have run into hard times. I wish everyone could try their tomatoes, then you'd know what I am talking about, and draw your own conclusion, to this heavenly fruit (I still consider it a vegetable, no matter what). I live on Oahu and so anytime I visit Kona, I make sure I stop at the local open market in Kamuela to buy these. When you go look for the Wow Farm sign and their red palaka shirts, strike up a conversation and enjoy buying some of these delicate treasures. Omg, if you're on Oahu you can get these at the local farmers market on certain day's. Tuesday's and Saturday's Kapiolani Community College Wednesday's at the Neal Blaisdell open market Thursday's at the Kailua open market Sunday's at the Mililani open market This is a great way of supporting local and small businesses! Seriously, it really inspires me to want to become a farmer!

    Found heirloom tomatoes at the Whole Foods in Kailua with a little sticker on them that said Wow…read moreFarm. All I can say is: Wow!

    Everything here is fantastic. This may have been my favorite spot to grab a bite in Hawaii…read more Surrounded by good vibes and wholesome filling food. A gem along the northern coast of the big island. Tip. Get the mushroom burger on sourdough and it's perfect.

    DAY 2 of Vacation - After ziplining, we wanted to walk around the town. We stumbled upon this local…read moreshop and decided to grab some snacks before driving back to Kona. Ambiance/Environment: I love the open space. There were so many products, groceries, and food. There is also limited outdoor seating. Service: I didn't catch her name, but the owner was so nice and welcoming. She gave us good recommendations from the drink menu. Everything we got: 1) Maui Vera - I bought this reef friendly sunscreen. I was told regular sunscreen will not help, so I waited until we came out here to buy sunscreen. This sunscreen helped protect me from crazy sunburns. It is very thick and dries up quickly. It does leave you looking whiter than usual lol. 2) Smoothies - My ILs ordered the Hawaiian Superman, Strawberry Bliss, Chocolate Monkey, and Super Soursop. All these smoothies were recommended by the owner based on their preferences. They absolutely enjoyed their drinks. Perfect refresher after 2 hours of ziplining. 3) Tropical Dreams Ice Cream - My BIL got an 8 oz ube ice cream. We all took a spoonful to try it. Wow .. the ube flavor was unbelievable. Sooo good!

    Been coming to this farmers market for a few years and have noticed it is getting smaller and…read moresmaller every time. BUT the vendors that show up are excellent! I always get a coconut -- this time of year, there were two options to choose -- small versus large. The large one is from Hawaii and is limited time of year, roughly one month of the year. Delicious! Also, they cut the coconut in half and provide spoons to enjoy the inside meat. Also love the fresh fruit stand with prickly pear fruits, star fruit, mango, and also some homemade items like coconut tapioca pudding, mango with sticky rice, papaya salad. Crafts vendors have beautiful handmade pens, signs, bracelets. I still highly recommend checking out the farmers market -- many unique items and offerings not found in traditional stores around the area!

    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.
