Attn: No Honolulu Farmer's Market next Wednesday July 22, Honolulu Farmers Market at the Blaisdell Center 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!! read more

This market has definitely seen better days. The Hawaii Farm Bureau has to do something to attract more vendors. Currently there is only 20 vendors listed on the website. 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. read more

I'm not sure if I am even writing a review for the correct place. But hopefully this reaches who it needs to hear. As someone who loves Thai food and eats it almost daily, this was honestly the worst Thai food I have ever had in my entire life. The satay chicken skewers are like rubber and absolutely disgusting. The soup is GROSS inedible is going in the rubbish. I never leave bad reviews, but this food truck here was so disappointing. I think my total was $27. All food will be going in the rubbish. I initially went to this food truck location to pick up chicken pot pies, and was very excited to see some Thai food. I would absolutely not recommend purchasing this Thai food. I hope the owners will attempt to do better with their products. read more

I absolutely love a good farmer's market, so it couldn't pass up the opportunity while in Hawaii! We went on a Sunday morning (I th8nk it ends around noon so make sure you get there early). We found street parking near by and paid less than $10 for 2 hrs. This market had the best fruit/veggies, plants/flowers and food stands! I circled around a few times and just couldn't help buying stuff! Anytime I'm in Hawaii, I will most definitely be going again! read more

It seems that all the vendors have met my daughters and recognize them every week to call them over and say hi and it's so exciting for them. My younger daughter loves doggies and since it's pet friendly, she gets to see a lot of her four legged friends. Overall, it's perfect for a daddy daughter's date on any Wednesday.!!! read more

Honolulu Farmers' Market - Farmers market is fun for all! - Farmers Market Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Stopped at the Honolulu Farmers Market on a Wednesday evening. It was smaller than I expected, but it was also filled with great small businesses! Everyone was nice and the market was cozy! A couple places had fresh fruit and vegetables. Lots of places to get great foods! Definitely worth checking out! My only complaint is that we weren't sure where to park. read more

Farmers' market or a foodie market? Please see my pictures. Arena parking lot today as there was an event at the Concert Hall. Quality/Quantity - If you are looking for a farmers' market, you might be disappointed, only 2 vendors. If you are looking for a foodie market, this is the place to be. We frequented so many new vendors, and some familiar ones! Supporting the locals. We got the Youpo Noodles HI (hand pulled noodles), and it was fantastic! Very good! Spicy!!! Atmosphere - Food market. We Ubered, so can't tell you about the parking. Clean bathrooms in the building, so much better than outhouses, thank you. Service - Good, nice to feel like a local again. Took a week, but finally people thought we were from here. Price - Depends where you shop. Owner Comment - Hosted by the Farm Bureau; congrats on your success since 1948. read more

Ah....the joy of a Wednesday night trip the Honolulu Farmers Market can not be beat. It doesn't hurt that I live across the street.... One of my favorite moments of the week is the post market elevator ride with fellow building residents where we can compare notes on our favorite vendors! Speaking of.... Here are my favorite vendors: Pig & the Lady...Bahn Mit perfection. Little Sparrow...spaetzle dishes reimagined. Ho Farms...excellent produce and pickles Papi's Empanadas...great selection of empanadas but try out the quinoa salad too. The Local General Store...excellent meats and prepared goods. Get there early if you want one of their amazing house-made cookies or desserts! Youpo Noodles....get your noodle hand-pulled by an expert then tossed with cumin lamb. You won't be sorry. Alex Produce...it is a farmers market after all. read more

Got lots of great food from all kinds of different vendors. This farmer's market is more like a food market though. There are lots of food vendors but very little stands that sell just fruits and veggies. But super nice people all around and very welcoming! Overall would recommend if you just want to taste some fruits which there's a vendor that sells a whole box that they cut up in front of you! And also just wanting to try different kinds of popular foods. I got this seared ahi with shrimp from a vendor (sadly don't remember the name) and it was heavenly especially the sauce they use! read more

This would be a typical Farmers Market except it's located in Hawaii. A lot of local items especially food. Go early because it gets crowded around noon read more

Honestly this is one of my favorite Farmers' Market...others may disagree due the size being just a fraction vs others and probably the choices of vendors participating. I am truly blessed to be working and with that just about NEVER have weekends off, though even if I did I'd still be a regular here whenever possible. Honolulu Farmers' Market is here every Wednesday nights 4pm to 7pm with the most convenient free parking just steps away from the beautiful lawn of the Blaisdell concert hall. Being a crafter as far as I can remember and have done a few craft fairs myself I can't imagine the struggles some have gone through since COVID has taken over with the change we now must adjust and live through. I have deep compassion for farmers and small business who have put so much passion into their dreams. I've know and seen some businesses that were forced to shut down and it broke my heart, so this is just one way that I can help and love to hear and get to know some that has stories to tell and always do their best to take care of us and I feel grateful and thankful...thank you!! read more

Support local and attend the monthly Farmers Market at Ala Moana Center. Local vendors with everything from pot holder, Hinode Rice bags repurposed as reusable grocery bag to hand made specialized jewelry to Lihing snacks and seasone gummies. They even had stands with baseball mits and washi tape. The list goes on. Every booth unique and special units own way. I got a my melody reusable drinking glass with a leak proof bamboo life and straw and some washi tape. All the vendors were friendly and answered any questions we had. I do wish they had more vendors. It's a quick walk through with about 20 stalls but the space is limited. It was a nice easygoing time with no pressure to buy. Just local people making things through creativity and skill. It was a nice time. Oh yeah my daughter and her friend bought jewelry from Aj jewelry. She makes some great pieces. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Over the past year and a half since its inception (December 2018), it seems that the Blaisdell Farmers Market has been renamed to Honolulu Farmers Market also decreased in the number of vendors. They've rotated their location between the lawn at the Blaisdell Concert Hall facing King Street or the parking lot of the Blaisdell Arena facing Kapiolani Boulevard. This farmers market meets regularly on Wednesdays from 4:00 pm to 7 pm. There is free parking available in the Blaisdell Concert Hall & Arena's parking structure. Through our several visits to this farmers market, it appears that there are more food stalls than farms being represented. You can get lots of ethnic, artisan, and local food items ranging from appetizers to desserts. Our past visits have been "beelines" to either the Sweet Revenge or The Pig & The Lady food booths. We always make sure to bring our own insulated bags to maintain the proper food temperature of our purchases as we walk to and from this market. We look forward to getting either a mochi bento (every 3rd week of the month) or a Thai curry chicken pot pie from Sweet Revenge and a teriyaki shoyu chicken plate from Hawaiian Style Chili Company this week. read more

COVID times are hard.... Here's to me trying to help support local... We're all struggling. Feels like there was less vendors than usual. I don't blame them. Some of the vendors veggies didn't look as fresh as I had hope. I miss pre covid times with more vendors and more food options. read more

If you're looking for an actual Farmer's Market filled with multiple vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables, and other locally grown products, this is not it. This is far from it, so I advise avoiding this "Farmer's Market" if you're looking for that. What this Farmer's Market should be called is a weekly "Mini Eat The Street." 98% of this market are food vendors with only one small, and extremely limited produce stall that close to all its produce were old and soon to be discarded. Everything looked like those $1 packaged veggies in Chinatown, but worse. I did not buy anything. It wasn't like this before. Come to this market if you're looking for a meal because you'll find a wide variety of food here with The Pig and the Lady as it's main attraction. There's plate lunch, Mexican, burgers, musubis, desserts, Filipino, Thai, and etc. The only positive here is this market is conveniently located in front of the Blaisdell Concert Hall at the corner of S. King Street and Ward Avenue with FREE parking inside. The gates are up, so you can freely enter and exit. It's hours are 4-7PM every Wednesday. Overall, I'd give it four stars for free parking and variety of food vendors, and zero stars for the severe lack of produce and being an actual Farmer's Market selling farmed products. read more

I've only been once but really enjoyed our visit. Almost more places to eat fresh cooked food versus getting produce or other grocery type items. Not sure if that's the case all the time but I thought there would be more actual farmer vendors. Either way it's a great little market near the Blaisdell Center in the middle of Honolulu, oh and there is FREE Parking! We scored some mac nut banana bread, apple banana, rambutan, ice cream, and Thai noodles. I'd it were a little later in the afternoon I would be totoally happy just eating my way around the whole place and sample something from every booth. Good crowd of people, nice to see the city show up for the vendors. Almost everyone masked up too, wasn't sure if it was required with current Hawaii mandates but definitely a strong majority wearing them. read more

Looks like fruits were bought somewhere else and just resold at this market . I walked from Hilton Hawaiian village to Marriott Waikiki and passed by 2 farmers markets , both of them had exactly the same items for sale... seems like franchise chain with overpriced fruits and souvenirs. Tourist trap read more

Okay, I've only been here technically once, but I have to say: The first time I went here and got Thai food. The pumpkin curry bowl with sticky rice and the pork skewers are AMAZING. The second time, my boyfriend got produce from vendors bring home ingredients to make pico de gallo, and it was so fresh that a quart and a half disappeared in two days. BUT the main reason I'm writing this is for the gentleman that makes one of the TOP THREE pastas I've had IN HAWAII. First is probably Uni pasta (or something else pasta) from Arancino Kahala. Second is La Cucina. Third, but coming up very close is this random never would have suspected it farmer's market pasta. Carbonara and Amatriciana. Just get those. It's gonna take 30 minutes, even if you get there early. It's one guy making pasta from scratch, fresh, with noodles and sauces that he made from scratch. Just put your order in, go buy your veggies and bread, wander around to look at booths, then come back. My boyfriend hates waiting in line but he said he would wait an hour for this. We left some of it out and ate it five hours later and it was STILL delicious, even all cold. Even the best restaurant stuff you save isn't THIS good later on. I don't like that I spilled this secret spot, but I really hope he opens his own restaurant one day, if he wants to. I would eat his pasta and bread every day and enjoy every pound that I put on! read more

Farmers Market is located at Blaisdell Center where parking is free. On Wednesday, hours are from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. They rotate locations between Blaisdell Arena parking lot or concert hall lawn. A list of vendors is on Hawaii Farm Bureau's website at https://hfbf.org/farmers-markets/honolulu/ I haven't been here for ages. La Tour Bakery is gone. Old vendor are Olay Thai food and Pig and the Lady Vietnamese food. New vendors are Bao Bites which sells bao with sweet and meat filling; Sweet Revenge which sells fruit and meat pies; and Side Street Inn. read more

Despite it's name, Honolulu Farmer's Market is more like a night market for food vendors rather than a farmers market that sells fresh fruits and produce (I believe there was one or two vendors selling produce). I knew this coming here, so I came on an empty stomach and prepared to eat my lunch/dinner here. There is free parking in a garage/lot adjacent to the farmer's market, and there are lots of helpful signs you can follow. Since the farmers' market is on a nice grassy spot, many people will walk their dogs through here. There are some tables for you to stand and eat your food, but there are also lots of families who bring picnic blankets and sit around to eat, which is really cute as well. While the size of this farmer's market is on the smaller side, there are plenty of options to choose from for dinner and in fact, I came here twice (Honolulu Farmers' Market goes on every Wednesday from 4-7 pm) to try out all the foods I wanted. There are a good array of food choices, including Vietnamese food, Hawaiian plates, noodles, sliders, takoyaki, chicken pot pies, ice cream, boba, etc. read more

Small market with mostly food vendors. The food was just okay. We tried some Thai, some French fries, a milkshake and spring rolls. There are two fresh veggies and fruit stands, honey and one bakery. Lots of dogs visiting and free parking. People running the market were friendly. read more

No place to sit. Thumbs down when you are crippled Don't believe that one review on the page of that one truck that says it has lemon meringue pie. The truck that supposed to have it doesn't. I'm sure they have a lot of stands that have a lot of tasty food. I didn't try them. I wanted lemon meringue pie. You would probably go there and have a great time. read more

Pretty awesome farmers market. I think it was better than the Waikiki one bc there is just so much more cooked food varieties found here. We grabbed our dinners here and even found a dessert. It wasn't too crowded. We didn't have to wait in too many long lines. read more

Who doesn't love a farmers market? Support local, get fresh and maybe non GMO and chemicals... I'm not sure how the parking situation goes but there is a lot and street metered parking available. I pretty much follow Sweet Revenge and Olay's around. I love their food. In following them, I discover different vendors wherever they're at. Nice to get out of the box once in a while. I just wish I had enough funds to support every vendor I see... There weren't many produce vendors. More hot or ready made foods available. But seriously, come check this farmers market out. Since I have a different work schedule, I'm able to catch this one more often! Ill be back with an update soon enough. read more

Visiting Farmers Markets is my jam. I visit them frequently when home and enjoy visiting them while away on vacation. To me, farmers markets give a good insight into the local produce and food scene. So I try to visit them whenever possible. The Wednesday farmers market at Neil Blaisdell Center has just a few produce vendors and a lot of food vendors. Ironically, there are very few places to sit down and eat. While I have only visited a handful of times when in the area, it looks like it has shrunk at least 30% compared to a year ago. Typically we visit this FM because of Pig & The Lady. It's much more convenient to get our pho banh mi fix here than in Chinatown. Plus, they're the only vendor with actual seating! We also enjoy the Guava Smoked fried rice. It's super tasty and the owner is the nicest guy. We recently bought kulolo and poi from a vendor that I think is called Momona but I'm not exactly sure since his table lacked any signage. There are about 3-4 produce vendors. However for the prime produce, you'd have to get here early because the good stuff is gone quick! The produce is local so it's common to find papaya, pineapple, long beans, purple sweet potato, and daikon. I haven't found much in terms of herbs or flowers. I think this FM could be so much more if they had a dedicated eating area and a few more produce and food vendors. It's decent but not one that i'd go out of my way to visit. read more

A great local food vendor market! Come here regularly for the Wednesday market for dinner. It's great with a wide variety of choices...hand thrown noodles, pizza, Vietnamese, bentos, laulaus, fresh drinks, Italian style pasta to name a few. Theres a small selection of vegetable stalls as well. read more

I always try to buy fresh and local. However it's getting a bit expensive here and I'm really irritated when I see people selling absolutely something that is NOT local. I mean I think some farmers must think I'm off my rocker not knowing that a beautiful Sunkist orange is still a Sunkist orange without a sticker. Today I found some awesome cucumbers, fresh ginger, cilantro (I say the bunches are smaller and smaller), won bok, choy sum, and great local oranges all this ran me close to $50. Is this really the price of produce? I'm sad because I went to the farmers market in SF and they had so many delicious fruits and more seasonal veggies and not as nearly as expensive as Hawaii. I remember even in Hilo their farmers market prices were reasonable. Somethings got to give. I mean I know farming is hard work and possibly the rent is high but at these prices Costco shopping is cheaper but I don't want that!! Wishing for better prices in 2022 I can't afford it. Lol. However I will always be a farmers market fan to get my produce that lasts way longer than any store bought ones. *deep sigh* read more

Forget Old MacDonald. THAT farm couldn't possibly compare to THIS farmer's market. From produce, breads, flavorful drinks, and delicious food, this farmer's market surely has something will catch your attention. NOTE: For more information on other farmer's markets taking place on Oahu, please visit http://hfbf.org/markets/ LOCATION: On the lawn fronting the Neal Blaisdell Concert Hall. HOURS: Wednesdays, 4-7pm PARKING: Free parking available in the Blaisdell Center parking garage. *side note*: There was no attendant in the parking booth on the day I visited this farmer's market, and therefore I just drove thru into the garage. I was told by other yelpers that if an attendant is present, just inform them you are going to the farmer's market. VENDORS: 1. Aloha Sweet Potato: Catherine T. and I had sampled their sweet potatoes fries while waiting for other Yelpers to arrive. These were so good!! The fries were still warm and served with just a touch of salt. Recommended. 2. Sweet Revenge: Thanks to a recommendation by Jacob N., this was the MAIN reason I was looking forward to this farmer's market. After much deliberation (sometimes I can take forever to make a decision!), I decided to order the special of the day: Quiche with bacon, mushrooms, and spinach. And the verdict: Delicious!! Thanks to the generosity of others in our group, I was also able to sample the chicken pot pie, and the s'mores and mango dessert pies. All the pies I tried were delectable and well-prepared. I look forward to trying more items from Sweet Revenge in the future. 3. Bonfire Pizza Company: Some Like It Hot. Yes, of course, I am referring to the NAME of the pizza that our group ordered. It's made with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese. We waited for about 5-10 minutes for the pizza to be cooked, as it was absolutely worth the wait. Surely recommended. TIP: CASH ONLY at most vendors, but some accept credit cards (look for signage or credit card logos). BOTTOM LINE: Good food. Wonderful assortment of vendors. FREE parking. Don't forget most vendors/businesses are CASH ONLY. read more

Came here last night for dinner with some friends and we had a blast! The ironic thing is that we didn't buy a single vegetable or fruit - we just bought food to consume on the spot: 1) The Ultimate Burger and Ultimate Fries from The Ultimate Burger - awesomeness! They use grass-fed beef from the BI. We had to wait a while for the food, but it's worth the wait. 2) Sweet potatoes from a Japanese vendor that heats it up on coals right on the spot - best sweet potatoes I've ever eaten - so soft, tender, and warm. She has both purple and yellow sweet potatoes for sale. 3) Kettlecorn - they don't make it on the spot but it still tasted fresh and crunchy. They have mastered the right combination of sugar and salt. 4) Inferno pizza - order your pizza when you get there, then shop around, because it takes about 30-40 minutes since they can only bake 2 at a time in their wood-fire oven. 5) mochi from Made in Hawaii foods - their mochi is ultra-soft and they don't skip on the fillings! If you can score one of two tables with chairs, you are set for a wonderful evening of great food and live music! But even if you don't score one of the tables, you still have a lil picnic on the lawn. They also make available the bathrooms in the concert hall! read more

We drove past the Blaisdell Concert Hall and saw that the Honolulu Farmers Market was going on and we've never been, so we decided to check it out. Its a pretty small farmers market that happens on Wednesdays that offers a wide variety of produce, baked goods, and other ready to eat onolicious grindz. We shared the following: Poke Bowl from Hibachi Vegan Lasagna from Greens and Vines Arancini and Kalamansi Lime Refresher from ???? Everything we tried was pretty good, but the Arancini was kinda bland.. Wifey also picked up some sweet Pineapple to eat afterwards. Plenty of free parking here, so come on down and support local businesses! ALOHA!!! Shaka Meter: \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ 3 YELP 365 CHALLENGE 2014-(64/365) "Food Filled Wednesdays" read more

I've decided I should attend more farmers markets. I decided this thinking I would buy more local produce, eat healthier etc. On my last visit to the Honolulu Farmer's Market, however, I didn't even get a chance to visit the "farmers". I was too distracted by the prepared foods side. There are so many great prepared food options, but I have to say, Sweet Revenge and the Pig and the Lady are definitely my favorites! I had a lemongrass/pork meatball sandwich fromt the pig and the lady and a beliini pie from Sweet Revenge. both were SOOOOO delicious. I like the flavor combinations at the Pig and the Lady and I love that Sweet revenge makes sweet pies that aren't ridiculously sweet. I wish there were more seating options to enjoy your food (the Pig and the lady booth always has their own tables, but if you don't get food from there, youre a little more out of luck). The parking situation is a little tight and I hate the parking lot here. My friend and I ended up walking a bit from our parking space, but there is a high turnover, so if you're patient, you can wait for a good spot. Parking is also free!! Next time, I will definitely check out the produce side before I hit the pies and vietnamese sandwiches. read more

This time we chose to try: Macadamian Nut crusted Mahi Mahi at Hui in the Pot Pandan Claypot Chicken and stuffed tofu at The Pig and the Lady Thai Coconut Chicken Curry at Da Spot The above are rated separately on Yelp. There were so many vendors in different rows this time, that it was too late to buy from them since I had a limited time to order that night. read more

The Honolulu Farmers' Market is a nice middle of the week break that occurs each Wednesday afternoon from 4p - 7p. I don't get to come here very often because my work schedule doesn't always allow it, but when it does, I like coming here to grab a bite to eat and just chill. The last time I came here, they were set up at the corner of Ward Ave. and King St., but last night they were at the corner of Kapiolani Blvd. and Ward Ave. They rotate? Vendors come and go but one that still appears to be going strong here is The Pig & The Lady. Unfortunately, by the time we got there at about 630ish, lots of things were already sold out so we got food from Guava Smoked and Burritos and Burgers Hawaii. Not bad, but I would like to go to each restaurant and try other menu items too. Local farmers also set up booths and sell fresh fruits and vegetables too if you're interested. Admission is free, so if you get the chance, go! read more

I love this Farmer's Market! I come nearly every Saturday to buy up some fresh, local veggies and bread for the week, grab some food for brunch and then I enjoy it outside under the covered eating area while jamming to the music from the local band. The live music group plays a variety of Hawaiian and nostalgic old schools jam. I love their smooth sound! The vendors are also great, everything from wood fired pizza, freshly cut coconut water, local honey, fresh flowers and succulents, local chef making gourmet omelets, crepes, Thai food - go for the Mango Sticky Rice!, red beet hummus, Waimanalo Fresh Farms, etc. Go for the great prices on the produce and unique local vendors; stay for the music and grind on some fresh food! read more

I work close to Blaisdell so going to the farmer's market after work is very convenient. I did so on one of the Wednesdays that they are always there. Pros: -Free parking in the structure. If you go to the market, just let the attendant know, just make sure there isn't an event that day. -Good amount of food vendors that are diverse. My fav is the Pig and the Lady. So good everytime I go. -there are about 3-4 produce vendors that have reasonably priced items. I like to get the kabocha that is cut into pieces since it's so hard to cut it myself. -another of my favs is La Tour bakery. I love getting their taro bread, croissants, and cookies. Cons: -I wish there were more vendors especially other types of vendors like textiles or crafts -if there are events at the concert hall, then the market moves to the back parking area of Blaisdell which I don't like since I have to walk farther, but that's probably just my opinion. Overall, I enjoy coming here to get produce and sometimes to get dinner since the options are so yummy. read more

The only time, I'm consistently envious of other people is Saturday mornings, when I'm looking through my Twitter feed & see all the pictures from their trip to KCC's Farmers' Market. My simply*awesome sister & I ALWAYS talk about waking up early & going to KCC on Saturday morning, but neither of us are willing to sacrifice sleeping in on the weekends. I've accepted the fact, I'll most likely never attend KCC's Farmers' Market but I found an alternative that works for me. After my appointment, I spontaneously decided to check out the Honolulu Farmers' Market & wanted to find out why my boss religiously makes a trip to stock up on veggies for the week. Looking at produce & eating delicious food at the Farmers' Market was a nice way to end my work day vs. sitting in traffic for an hour. I walked around the Blaisdell Concert's lawn, before deciding what I wanted to devour & almost screamed with delight, when I saw Zaratez Mexicatessen had a tent. I've read numerous tweets praising the food created by this L.A. style taqueros & pretty much sang my order to the chef. I inhaled the heavenly aroma of my Mexican deliciousness & I couldn't stop smiling as I ate the mouth-watering tacos, rice & beans because hands down that was the BEST Mexican food I've ever had in my life. I can't wait to return to their tent & sample their entire menu! I felt like everyone walking around the Farmers' Market had a drink in their hands & I wanted to fit in with the "cool kids." There's a vendor called Pacific Kool who sells a variety of Hawaiian Ginger drinks, I loved the flavor of my sweet + tangy flavor of my Berries & Ginger drink. I also loved that I didn't feel rushed when making a decision on which Hawaiian Ginger drink I wanted to order (when there's so many delicious options, I'm very indecisive). The fastest way to my heart is through my stomach & you'll win me over with my favorite dessert is bakalava. I've always had respect for people who go through the long & grueling process of making bakalava + how could I not indulge my sweet tooth especially when it costs $1.50 a piece? I'm so happy I saved some bakalava for the next day, it was easily the highlight of my lunch. I'm hoping to become a Farmer's Market regular & I can't think of a better way to support local farmers by keeping money within the community. read more
