Kaiser Ptsa Farmers Market - Farmers Market Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I think this is my favorite Farmers market on the island. It's at night so it's not super hot, there's a lot of parking, and it's not super overwhelming with so many vendors. This Farmers Market is held every Tuesday at Kaiser High School parking lot from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. You park on the same area and walk down to the vendors. I think there two rows of vendors. I really like this market also because they have a lot of Japanese food vendors. It was a little difficult to decide what to get for dinner. I got food from three different places. I got the takoyaki. You can get the original or you can get it with cheese. We went with the original. Then we got Nabeyaki udon and tempura bowl from another vendor. And at the last vendor we got a kakuni bowl. They were all decent prices and it was still nice and hot when we brought it home since we live so close. All of the food was good. For the Nabeyaki I had to make the broth they provided but it only took a few minutes. My husband liked the kakuni bowl and I think it was only $10. I will definitely be checking this place out again. I saw a lot of dessert places that I wanted to try too. I wanted to keep circling and checking out more places but my daughter kept telling me she had to go to the bathroom. If you come, I'd recommend you come early because some vendors were running out of things and most importantly, have your kids use the bathroom before. read more

I love going there to grab dinners , veggies, micro greens, fresh sashimi, prime rib plates. I have recently tried the bowl Saimin, udon, that you microwave, that's a winner, I will go back. The varieties of mochi yummmmy! Olay's is ok, but my fried chicken was hard as rock, I think you can improve for ppl like me who buys at least &100 in the different types of food. Try giving out samples if they ask. I love the prime rib plates. Keep up the great & hard work!!!!Some foods are way too salty, and too mushy. Just my opinion. I don't mind spending $$$, but at least catch my attention!? read more

CoViD 19= #13 "NEW" Open Market Shopping Experience "It's a small world after all".... My first visit to this cute Farmers Market and I run into Yelper Jo Y and I stroll with Yelper Therese H. Now then about this place: Covid Pros: 1) EVERY attendee both shopper and vendor alike ALL WORE MASKS! 2) EVERY shopper RESPECTED the 6' distance rule 3) EVERY vendor had in addtion to face masks had addtional PPE= latex gloves when touching and serving you their products Cons:??? None actually except for the 90 degree heat pounding down on you as this Farmers Market is located in the Kaiser High School parking lot. Now, about this place: 1) Vendor booth fee = $25 2) Proceeds benefit Kaiser High School PTSA 3) Still relatively small, parking available and LOTS of eateries many of which you would recognize. For example: Ruby Tuesdays= $11 Rib Meal (complete with fixin's Colin Hazama C4= $15-$20 meals. Menu varies by the week Sweet Revenge= Pinkie is there with their delicious pies La Tour= Box Van there selling their breads There are quite a few other eateries including Mochi Strawberries! My pick of the day. Here's the story: fresh fruit wrapped in mochi WITHOUT preservatives. Fruits HUGE and FRESH. Pricey but worth every dollar. There are many individual vendors selling cookies, snacks, fruits, vegetables, hand crafted items (including MASKS) Hours: every Tuesday from 4 - 6 pm. The first Tuesday of the month offers a neat idea known as "Plant exchange". Take from your garden something someone else may want to try to plant and grow. Exchange it for something YOU may want to plant and grow. If you go early, let the vendors set their booths up or stand in line patiently. You would want to go early for parking's sake. If you go after 4 pm, please be patient and considerate to the pedestrians while you look for parking. IF you park on the upper levels, be careful when walking down the concrete stairs. The stairs are steep and narrow. Nothing that a little bit of attention and careful tending to your walking A must try for all who enjoy the Farmer's market scene. Good food, small enough to enjoy everything! For the east side residents; go to get your dinner and dessert on the way home from work! Well worth the stop! read more

It's amazing how the Kaiser PTSA Farmers Market has changed during these Covid times. Before the pandemic, it was extremely bare with the same vendors every week. Now, restarting after lockdowns, this Farmers Market has expanded tenfold. There are so many vendors now with a large variety of food and crafts. Many restaurants are participating here as well, such as Kazan Ramen (known for its Volcano Ramen), Yakiniku Sizzle, Pig and the Lady, Sweet Revenge, Ruby Tuesday, and etc. Every time I've been here on Tuesdays from 4-6PM, it's always packed. Most of the vendors are friendly, but a few are very snotty (usually teenagers). My only gripe is some of the pricing for a few vendors. I want to support local and help out for those having any hardships, but we're all suffering hardships, so setting prices that are unreasonably high or adding random fees that aren't mentioned at all is unacceptable. I purchased something that I easily added to $12, but the girl told me $13. Uhhh, what? It was after I asked, she said the extra dollar is for the plastic box. If you do it like that, it's extremely suspicious. No where it says there a charge for boxes. That was upsetting, and really wanted to just walk away, but I don't answer rudeness with rudeness. Overall, this farmers market almost feels like the one at KCC from the amount of vendors and amount of people walking around. Though, keeping the six foot distance isn't followed THAT well, and I still find it bizarre people would just walk around with masks down to eat or drink. read more

I just about NEVER have Saturdays off in forever so I barely get to go to any sort of farmers market, but some like this Kaiser PTSA that have it on a weeknight is a blessing for me to enjoy. I know it's not the easiest to do and only hope that I continue to see all the vendor and more participate. There were a few food truck and a bunch of crafty folks with their uniqueness it's fantastic. I did picked up a few things like freeze dried jolly ranchers by Any Kine Snax and several beautiful sewn items by YuYu Crafted. A crazy crafter myself I just love seeing all the inspirational love they all have, thank you! read more

This farmers market is on Tuesday evenings from 4-6 pm and is located in the lower parking lot of kaiser high school. There's a lot of parking, but they're really small and compact. The stairs that lead you down to the market is steep too so watch your step! I've seen a lot of dogs here, but it's so hot this summer! Just be aware of heat exhaustion from your puppies if you decide to bring them along. They have a good variety of vendors and most of the long lines are for the produce stands. They have a little mix of everything along with your typical vendors (sweet revenge, pig and the lady, la tour). It's worth checking out if you're in the area and some of the vendors here do pre orders. read more

This farmers market is at Kaiser HS on Tuesdays from 4-6pm. The vegetables and breads have always been good. However, it has expanded over the last 18 months and have several vendors. You can see a list of their regular vendors on their website at Kaiser PTSA. Last week we had food from JOJA, Hau'oli, and Kealoha Seafood which were great. Located right off Lunalilo Home Road and plenty of parking in the school lot. read more

Such a fun little farmers market that you can catch at the Kaiser High School parking lot every Tuesday 4-6pm! I love that there's ample parking. There aren't as many vendors as the Kaka'ako, KCC or Kailua farmers markets, which makes it so much easier to just take your time, cruise and enjoy what you want to eat without worrying about hitting a million different vendors. You can see a more comprehensive list of vendors on their website, but from the top of my mind here are some of the participating vendors that we say at the end of May: La Tour Cafe, Katsu Sando, Joja, Boba Bros, Sweet Revenge, C4 Table, Any Kine Snax, Kaji's Kitchen, Lanikai Mochi, Yakiniku Sizzle. read more

Yess!! Come visit the local vendors here! It's every Tuesdays from 4-6pm but go early to get the fresh stuff! I love this market! It's friendly lots of parking, great food and crafts, supporting local is better! Come visit !! read more

Kaiser High School's Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) Farmer's Market has had our support for many years, mainly because our kids graduated from there, & this farmer's market use its proceeds to support school programs. Started about 10 years ago with about five vendors, we've seen it decline to about two vendors just some years ago. Then, all of a sudden with the COVID-19 pandemic, it has now grown to more than 30 vendors with heavyweights being added, such as Sweet Revenge, the Pig & the Lady, Le Tour Bakehouse, & upscale chefs from Waikiki hotels. This farmer's market is thriving with eager customers looking for local produce, baked goods, hot foods, side dishes, plants, & miscellaneous items each Tuesday from 4p-6p at the school's lower parking lot. How great it is! Some of our favorite vendors include: * Sweet Revenge. Their sweet & savory pies are absolutely delicious! The flavorful Chicken Pot Pie and Chicken Cordon Bleu Pot Pie are very filling for dinner! The Mango Crumb Pie, filled with only local mangoes with a streusel crumb topping, is heavenly with vanilla ice cream! The Peaches & Cream Pie is so delish with fresh peaches in a buttery crust! The Chocolate After Dinner Mint Pie is perfect for chocolate lovers! The offerings are varied, so we look forward to trying a new one each week! * Kaji's Kitchen. Chef Blake, the Director of Food & Beverage & the Executive Chef at Princess Kaiulani Hotel, offers his specialties here. His vacuum-packed smoked meat & pickled raw onions are so tasty! With each week offering a hot dish, we've tried their sampler plate that featured corned beef with onions laulau & smoked meat with onions & enjoyed it! They had okonomiyaki this week. Look forward in trying their garlic chicken, smoked marlin, salmon musubi, smoked tako, & boiled peanuts (li hing, garlic, or Korean BBQ). They're at the farmer's market every other week. * C4 Table. Chef Colin Hazama, the Executive Chef at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, offers his upscale comfort food. We love his Caramel Star Anise Roast Chicken with braised leeks, Forbidden rice & charred garlic baby bok choy, as well as his Smoked Pork Belly Bacon Bao (set of 4) with black pepper jam, apple fennel kim chee & cilantro. Cooked to perfection & so flavorful! * Ruby Tuesday Hawaii. As the two local owners are graduates of Kaiser High, they are new vendors this week. Their ribs dinner plate of mango kiawe ribs (also had classic BBQ or hickory bourbon sauces), mashed potatoes & steamed broccoli for $11 garnered a long line. With the meat falling off the bones, a delicious dinner! * La Tour Bakehouse. Love their organic sourdough loaf that makes great sourdough toasts in the morning! * Plant Exchange. Love the concept of trading seedlings with your neighbors. We've been bringing air plants & donating other plants around the house. We've gotten eggplant & purple bozu in pots, & shungiku (edible chrysanthemum) seeds. In the past, they've had jalapeno, guava, Hawaiian wood rose, & more. This booth is here on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. As the farmer's market is now very crowded, we've pre-ordered our items based on the vendors' requirements as noted in the website (Note: kudos to Yelper Therese H., who volunteers as the farmer's market website coordinator! Great to see Therese & Terry K. at the farmer's market this week!). By pre-ordering, we arrive early, pick up our orders without having to stand in long lines in the hot sun & leave before it gets very crowded. Social distancing may be compromised as this farmers market becomes more popular. There are many other vendors that we have yet to try: MA Farms, Lets Grow HI, & Mahiku Farms Waimanalo (fresh produce); Kelz Kakes (breads & cakes); Sin's Kitchen (kimchi & cookies); Daizu-Tei (vegan foods); Yakiniku Sizzle (BBQ foods); Teruya Andagi & Bentos; Swedish Apple Pies; Any Kine Snax (freeze-dried Skittles & orange creamsicles); Pig & the Lady (Vietnamese foods); Olay's Thai Food Express; Mama Ju Cookies (azuki bean cookies); I Heart Poke (fresh ahi poke); Carlton Crafts (duct-tape wallets & binder clips); DYY Creations (face masks); Freckleface soaps; Lucky Roll (handmade jewelry); Kazan Ramen Express (bentos); & others. Free parking is available on the upper levels of Kaiser's parking lot, with each level joined by stairs in the middle of each level. Go early to get your items, as the vendors easily sell out of their specialties early on. Or better yet, pre-order to guarantee your order. The Kaiser PTSA Farmer's Market is an amazing neighborhood event that has never given up over the past 10 years despite having only two vendors at one time. Goes to show you that anything is possible if people believe in it. A great way to support our local vendors & the alma mater of our kids in the community. We look forward in returning to order our Tuesday dinners here & welcome potential new vendors to this successful neighborhood farmer's market! read more

Love the Kaiser High Farmers Market! Not overwhelming in size but a good variety. There are about two parking aisles full of vendors. Some of my top favorite vendors are Nabeya Maido, Chef Kajis, Kakaako Sizzle, Katsu Sando, C4, Simply Ono, Sweet Revenge; & Joja. Gonna miss Kimie Biz a cute small business. Another perk of this market is every few weeks I think it's the second Tuesday there is a plant exchange/swap. I also really appreciate that it really is homegrown and they often allow the Kaiser High student Covid to sell lemonade or baked goods to raise funds. Open Tuesdays 4-6:30 (used to be 6 they just extended hours in the last few months) other than holidays or during certain school events or road work. No pets allowed other than service animals. read more

In the last 5 weeks, this small neighborhood farmers market has really grown - they had about 20 vendors on the second Tuesday in June. The market takes place Tuesdays from 4-6 pm on the lowest level of Kaiser High School's parking lot, and marketgoers have plenty of parking on the two levels above that. People have been very respectful - wearing masks and social distancing. They have everything from fresh local produce - one farm does CSA deliveries every other week - to bento boxes from Waikiki restaurants to face masks to promotional items. Their website is updated weekly, but if you're going for a particular vendor, you should contact them if they have a number or email on the website. Full disclosure: I built that website pro bono for the market :) On the second Tuesday of the month, "Hawaii Kai Auntie" hosts a Plant Exchange with a large variety of plants and some seeds. I brought a couple of boxes of plumeria cuttings, and took home a popcorn orchid - would have easily paid $20 at the store for that! I met an adorable family of kids who had a table with an assortment of crafts, all using different colors and patterns of duct tape. I had no cash on me to buy from them, so I got them smoothies from one of the vendors who takes Venmo. Be sure to bring cash, as many vendors only have that payment option. So happy our little neighborhood farmers market is gr read more

Loved all the food vendors here! We bought a huge chunk of fresh caught ahi, enjoyed musubi, butter mochi and Olay's Thai. Look forward to sampling a chicken pot pie next time. However, I was a bit disappointed in the fresh produce. It is less a farmer's market and more a vendors and food truck situation. There was literally only one stand selling greens!! It was great stuff from Waimanalo, but I had expected 5 or more tables of produce. Bummer on that front. read more

I've been 3 times now and each the produce and fruits were a great selection. Just enough for myself and mother. We will join the delivery service so get more items every week. I'm happy Kaiser has the quality food we like to continue a plant based diet. read more

Have been going to this Farmer's Market off and on throughout the pandemic. The vendors and other patrons are friendly. Prices are reasonable and parking is generally pretty available, since it's held in a parking lot. Have enjoyed Sweet Revenge pies, some of the local produce, C-4 Table bentos by Colin Hazama, several of the Japanese bento and noodle offerings, kimchee, Ruby Tuesday, lemonade, desserts and much more! As others have mentioned, it's 4-6pm on Tuesday evenings so it's a pretty comfortable temperature. The school gets some of the proceeds, so it's a win/win! read more

First time for me going to the Kaiser Ptsa Farmer's Market. Nice variety of food trucks and some independent bakers. I was in a rush, so didn't have time to really take it all in, but I was satisfied with what I saw. Vendors were friendly - especially the cupcake lady and another lady close by. Lots of parking, and spaced nicely to prevent overcrowding of both vendors and customers. The Andagi I bought was ono. read more

Came here recently as a spectator during a friends' Brazilian Jui Jitsu tournament. Got here in time to experience a wonderful little farmer's market in the upper parking area of Kaiser High School. 9am to 1pm. Thoroughly enjoyed browsing and sampling the unique local vendors selling jams, honey, fresh produce, crepes, pastries, popcorn, fresh baked bread, homemade butters, locally grown meat, plate lunches, gourmet popsicles, etc. Small, but a variety with quality. Unlike the tourist trapped KCC market that was once interesting, but now ruined by bus loads of Japanese spectators; this market is local and well worth supporting. Buy Hawai'i first! read more

A decent but very small market. Bakery, coffee guy, a wood-fired pizza place, a honey vendor (whose honey was fantastic) a crepe vendor a couple of vegetable folks, two smoothie places and a fish vendor (**warning about this one below!**) was about all they had. BIG warning about the fish vendor: he sold us what he called Hawaiian Butterfish, Walu - which, after googling it when we got home, I gather that all locals are probably well aware is called the "Ex-lax" fish and has virtually been banned in Hawaii (and was in Australia and Japan). I asked several questions about whether the fish would be acceptable to feed to my 2 year old son based on the mercury content, and the vendor said absolutely NOTHING about the miserable case of diarrhea I COULD have given him had I fed him this fish! What a terrible person. Very disappointing. Boycott this fish vendor! He clearly has no moral compass! read more

Sorry that my review is not great as the idea of a farmers market is wonderful and have been to many on the island. Drove over an hour to the KS Farmers market, long line for cars going in for parking but all good. Long lines in front of a few vendor tables and very hot also to wander around. Biggest complaint is stood in long line for 45 minutes only to find out when we got to the front, THEY were out of food! Really, standing there for a long time, you would think their signs would start coming down when they sold out of foods and turn your sign around when you are sold out!! Many vendors working out of the back of their vehicles. Stood in 2 additional lines and after one hour got some bentos to take home. All together 4 hours at this farmers market. read more

This place was very fun, made me smile seeing all the families w/ their kids. The options here as well are amazing, I loved how there weren't too many to get flustered at. Sadly, many of the stands were disappointing which is why I'm removing a point from my review. But, overall I really enjoyed my experience here. read more
