This is actually a true farmers market where the focus is fresh produce and fruits. There were three 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. read more

Minialist was just right... 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! read more

Small, cozy farmer's market in Manoa Marketplace. Got 5 papayas, bag of Okinawa Sweet pototes and Japanese cucumber for about $20. They open 7am to 2pm on Sundays. There are other vendor as well other than produce. Very laid back, compared to KCC and Kakaako. Parking plenty, depending on the time you go. read more

Beautiful Sunday morning and I found myself walking around the Manoa Marketplace. As I meandered through the marketplace, I came upon the Manoa Farmers' Market. It's a bustling market with lines of customers picking up fresh vegetables at reasonable prices. Take a gander here and support local farmers at the Manoa Farmers' Market. The green onions and papaya stood out for me. When I asked if the vegetables were organic, he honestly said no. But nevertheless, everything looked fresh and yummy. Check out the art work and ready to eat meals here as well! Lovely local flowers are available here as well. Have a wonderful day! read more

The hours - Apple Maps- are listed as daily from 0600 till 1100 but they are Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday from 0700 - 1300. The Manoa Farmers' Market is situated in the Manoa Marketplace courtyard; fronting the post office and the new playground area. Old location was in the parking lot along East Manoa Road across from Starbucks and Andy's. There are only 2 vendors now but they offer locally grown, fresh, and cheap ( or comparable) produce. Today, I purchased apple bananas and Kahuku papayas. Patronize the vendors if you want to save a bit of money and support local famers a bit as well. read more

Manoa Farmers' Market - Farmers Market Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Manoa marketplace has a farmers' market on Sundays from 7am to 2pm. It is very small with only 2 produce vendors and 3 other vendors. There's flowers/some fruit, art work, and Thai food. I would compare prices of produce since one is slightly more expensive than the other and the cheaper one sold out of most items by 11:00. Both produce vendors have a basket for you to use when you shop. The lines are short and move quick as well. Since Manoa marketplace has been recently renovated, it's clean, covered, and there's some areas for seating between the vendors if you decide to get something to eat. It's a decent farmers' market for the weekend in town. Plenty of parking in the shopping area. read more

Nobody selling stuff here is a farmer. They buy the produce from the same wholesaler that the stores in Chinatown uses and then sell it at a higher price than the stores in Chinatown do, so you pay extra for B-grade vegetables in order to avoid having to go to Chinatown. Also, I think that at least in one case their scales are inaccurate. read more

As luck would have it.... A couple of weekends ago, I had planned to visit my favorite local designer's (Allison Izu) new studio/showroom to congratulate her on her journey of relocation from Ala Moana Center to the Mānoa Marketplace and to enjoy the Grand Opening festivities. However, I couldn't make it because a former fellow culinary arts classmate came in from Oregon to visit for the week, and we were busy entertaining her and her husband. So, I delayed my visit because I was untimely struck down with omicron and my visits with my friends came to a screeching end while I was quarantined and recovered over ten days. My husband offered to take me out for breakfast/brunch at the Waioli Kitchen & Bake Shop, but when we arrived at the cafe, we found them temporarily closed, so we headed to the Mānoa Marketplace. We were hangry, but I took a few minutes to stop in to visit the designer boutique before looking for brunch. As I exited the boutique and faced the other side of the marketplace, I saw several tents, shelves, and boxes featuring fresh local fruits and vegetables. Aha! I could tell the set-up was a farmers' market, and I rushed over because of my fondness for shopping at local agricultural businesses. We started browsing and inquired about this farmers' market. The vendor said this market is open three days a week, Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. The more we browsed, the more fresh-picked local fruits and vegetables I found. I managed to find Kabocha squash that I'm going to "turn into" Japanese Kabocha squash croquettes or korokke or curry or soup. From the same vendor, I also got other local fruits such as mountain apples, papayas, and soursop, but then as I was exiting, I saw a fruit that I'd never seen in my life. It was a good thing there was a sign that identified it as "Hami Melon," but I had no idea what it would taste like or how to determine its ripeness. Luckily, after I posted the photos of the farmers' market and inquiry about the Hami Melon, I received several responses from fellow Yelp Friends. Their descriptions of this Chinese melon sounded so refreshing, naturally sweet, and fragrant since it's a variety of muskmelon that I'm planning to return to the market on Sunday to get one to eat. The variety and freshness of the locally grown fruits and vegetables were impressive, and the service was also friendly. Other bonus points go to the reasonable prices and convenient market hours. I can see driving into Mānoa more frequently, especially on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday, for this farmers' market and just to enjoy the neighborhood. read more

I love farmers markets! I like supporting local agriculture and small businesses. This one is not a huge farmers market, but it's convenient if you're in Manoa. Manoa Farmers Market is open 3 days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday) from 7am-2pm. It is located at the back of Manoa Marketplace tucked in a corner by the playground. I liked it better when it was up front along the road for better visibility, but I guess now the parking spots can be used for parking. There are just a couple of produce vendors and a tent selling Thai food. During our last visit, we picked up some beets, tomatoes, broccoli, and green onions. People are pretty nice. Be sure to bring your own bags to mālama ʻāina! read more

Quaint, welcoming, local and adorable - a must stop if you are in the area and craving a little artsy gathering. While there are not a ton of vendors, the variety is just enough to make the experience worthwhile. From fresh flowers to fruit to art - you are bound to find something and it's also a great place to get a gift since all the items are from artists vs. mass produced shops like ABC which you will find so many of on the strip. Personally, I adore shopping local and always enjoy the feel of open air markets. We had great service from Linda who was running one of the booths and purchased quite a few items from her including T-shirts, greeting card, mouse pad, towel and makeup pouch. Be sure to find Linda as her husband also makes really beautiful artwork as well. Enjoy! Mahalo! read more

Today was my first time coming to the Manoa Farmers Market with my father! He thought it was a good idea to take me here because I just needed a little more ingredients to finish up my meal prep for this upcoming week! **My experience ~ *Location & Vendors (9/10) The location of this farmers market is perfect. There is a lot of space for parking and it's not a far walking distance. When I came here, there were 3 vendors and all of them were really friendly! All the produce looked really good! However, it is a little small for a farmers market, but they do have a wide variety of produce to look for! I'm honestly really excited to try the young ginger I bought as well as the lemons! My father bought a handful of things as well! I would say that the prices here are reasonable and why not support local? Overall, I will definitely be back here for more produce! The location is really convenient! And the vendors are super friendly! Can't wait till next time! read more

It was great but just small. The fruit and vegetables were absolutely delicious and I love how they put together small bags of each item so you can just grab a bag really quick and be out. The quality is super great. I just wish that there were more vendors there. read more

The location of the market is a little difficult to find in the midst of the strip mall, but it's in a corner in between Safeway and Long's Drugs. All parking is free. 5 vendors were there the day that I went. Most are cash only, and each carries like 40 types of produce each. So many fruits are available: butter avocado, 2 types of bananas, champagne mangoes, pineapple, Keitt mangoes, Roma tomatoes, longan, and more! read more

Just returned after years of coming here and after Covid. I was shocked to see the prices of items. So when I first walked down, I noticed that the first vendor with the twin sisters are charging me $3/bunch of cilantro. Are you kidding me!! I can get it cheaper in the store. Also all of their other prices are so so high. I saw white peaches, cherries, and oranges that I know you bought at Costco. Not grown here. So yes, its a shame you mark up prices AND sell things that aren't grown here. Other than that how do you sell $3/small bunch of cilantro?? Anyhow I bought few items then kept walking down towards the other two vendors. Cilantro $1.50!! For real?? Anyhow that was my only gripe. I don't like to be cheated but I appreciate local farmers and their hard work. read more

Nice selection of fruits and veggies, many local, at the market on Thursday 9/7. We focused on local fruits, and had a couple of vendors to choose from, and more fruit choices than we could justify getting. Location isn't as posted in Yelp. It's in the same complex, but up by the Texaco station across from Off the Hook and down the street from Morning Glass cafe. read more

Manoa Farmers' Market - Apple bananas, star fruit, Keitt mango, sweet oranges, papaya, dragon fruit (clockwise) - Farmers Market Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We went on a rainy Sunday. Not a lot of vendors, but we got longan ($7.00/pound), some cooked Okinawan potatoes (purple, sweet, yummy), and some apple bananas. There were other stores in the area, and vibrant scene there with locals eating on tge outside tables despite the rain. Tip: it's in the back of the shopping mall by the crepe place. We almost missed it! read more

This is a small farmers market located in the courtyard of Manoa Marketplace. There's probably about 3-4 produce vendors, and 1 flower vendor and 1 Thai place. Parking was never a problem as most people come and go and most people don't stay there very long anyway. A lot of the produce is kind of pricy. There are other farmers market out there with more competitive rates or better yet just go down to Chinatown and you'll have a better selection. I actually came down here because there is a vendor within a vendor at the farmers market that I wanted to try. There is a person that sells dipped strawberries for 12$ on Sunday within the Thai booth - which is cash only. Otherwise, I don't think I'll make the trip here for the farmers market itself as it isn't worthwhile to come really. read more

I've recently discovered Manoa Famers' Market located at the Manoa Marketplace. They are located in the courtyard every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. They have the most vendors out there on Sunday. I go to the pilates classes upstairs and I usually go after the class is done but last week I came a little early. There was a lot of selection early in the morning. The fruits and vegetable selection is fresh at every single one of the vendors. I really like this farmers market because it is still a farmers market. By this I mean that other farmers market have all kinds of other vendors there like plate lunch and snack and other things. I know a lot of people go to the farmers market for that but I really enjoy the simple farmers market. I'm not there to buy plate lunches or listen to music, I'm just there to buy good fresh affordable produce. That day I was able to get cantaloupe(which is always a deal there) and a cauliflower. They were both very reasonably priced and very fresh. If you haven't tried Manoa Farmers market, give it a try. But come early for the best selection. read more

I've been trying to limit myself to Manoa recently, so I was pretty excited for the farmers' market today since Safeway just wasn't cutting it for me. Maybe I've been in LA too long, but dang, I def don't remember veggies and fruit being so darn expensive. Obviously this doesn't just apply to the farmers' market, but you'd probably get a little more bang for your buck at almost any other Asian market on the island (e.g., Don Quijote, Hmart). HOWEVER, the overall quality of fruits and veggies is quite good here. There's no attempting to hide ugly/rotten veggies/fruit under the nice ones in a bag because (1) the bags are too small for that lol and (2) everything is so fresh!! I really like the selection of herbs they have here: cilantro, basil, Thai basil (!!!), rosemary, etc. I've had a really difficult time finding Thai basil, so super excited now that I know where to get it for my next pad kee mao cooking venture. One of the middle vendors has a stall at the end of the "aisle" (near the register) with some cool Vietnamese and Thai items as well (curry paste, dry noodles, rice paper, etc.). I've picked up a few treasures there such as yum thick rice noodles and concentrated beef pho broth, so I highly recommend checking that it out! read more

We love going to Farmers markets, especially in Hawaii. We wanted some fresh fruit-papayas, mangoes, et. Come on! This hardly a farmers market with one produce stand. Any fruit there was was ridiculously expensive. The one saving grace was the woman selling fresh butter mochi. OMG, it was still warm. Perhaps this market is convenient for office folks nearby? This place could use some more vendors to be a proper market. No coming back here. And, we found Don Quixote while heading back. Now, that is a crazy place! read more

i was just telling Davy F. about the Manoa Farmer's market and realizing I hadn't yet yelped how much I love this place. First of all, it's in Manoa Marketplace which means I can shop for most of my fruits and veggies at the farmer's market, then make quick stops at Long's Drugs (yes, it's a part of my day!), Safeway, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Grylt. Plus, there's ATMs for Bankoh, FHB and ASB when you need extra cash to buy more produce, how convenient is that?! But, going back to the farmer's market, I love that there are only three vendors and that the prices are so reasonable. My strategy is to walk quickly through the aisles to see what they each have to offer and at what price. While sometimes the first vendor is cheaper, the second or third vendor may offer extra, say, garlic in a bag, for just fifty cents more. Or, you can see that the produce just looks fresher. Of course, it's a mental challenge to remember every price, but for the most part, I go to one vendor for some items (e.g. kale, broccoli, arugula, lemons, limes, grape tomatoes, garlic, yellow onions, red onions, Kahuku corn), another vendor for their fresh herbs (basil, thai basil, mint, lemongrass, Italian parsley, rosemary, thyme, oregano) and another for their fruits like tangerines, apple bananas and lychee. During the summer, this vendor also sells small crisp green pears that are so sweet and juicy, I always have to get a bagful. And, Thai watermelon! The middle vendor also sells snack items like Chinese pretzels and nuts, cookies, bentos and a selection of Asian bottled sauces. Some things go quickly, so if you absolutely know you need to get a specific item, by all means go early. I've gone as late as 11 a.m. on a lazy Sunday morning, easily scored parking and found ample produce filling the farmer's market bins. All of the vendors are friendly and even the shoppers are patiently waiting in line. Remember to bring cash and your own 'green' bag so there's one less plastic bag used. All in all, the Manoa Farmer's Market has a good vibe that draws me back again and again and again... read more

As a person who loves to eat/cook/save, this is my favorite farmer's market. I understand it's not a full-on market, but you're always guaranteed to find what you are looking for. These vendors are the real deal and they know what people want and how to provide it at a reasonable cost. There aren't more than 2 or 3 vendors here but they still manage to have a variety of items. I suggest making a list of the things that you need a head of time and taking a walk between the two first. You will find that the prices aren't the same. I usually find myself splitting my shopping between two. Take a second to walk before you pick up the basket. Happy shopping! read more

This is a very very small farmers market on Tuesdays. Today there was only 2 fruits and vegetable vendors, 1 peanut butter vendor, 1 art vendor and 1 crepe vendor. My main attraction to this Farmers' Market is the crepes from Pt Suisse Crepes. With different choices of sweet and savory crepes there is sure to be a crepe to fit your cravings if you are in the mood for a crepe. Personally I always go for the Works since it has so much in it. Overall if you are around the area come out and check it out. Personally I wouldn't make a special trip on the weekdays. #Yelp 365 002/365 Date Visited: 8/2/2011 read more

One of my favorite farmers markets, the consistency at Manoa Marketplace is incredible. 3+ sellers are mostly fresh and local produce and are the main attraction. I frequent the tented booth closest to the permanent tenants. Other sellers change from time to time, I've seen fresh flowers, honey and ready-made foods. Open on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, the earlier you get there, the more selection you'll find. They set up by 6:00am, and pack it up around 2:00pm, or before that if stock is low. read more

This Farmer's Market in Manoa is my go to on Sundays to get some produce, herbs, necessities and ingredients for cooking for the week. Parking is always available and super easy to get in and out. There are three produce vendors, one floral vendor and Sou's Thai food. The earlier you go the better your selection. The vendors are cash only and I recommend bringing your own grocery bag to save on using plastic. They are all so nice and remember your faces from previous weeks. read more

I make the drive out to this farmers market to grab produce after bfast or brunch at the marketplace every so often. I'm not from this area but I enjoy the marketplace place here along w the farmers market altho I can only make it here on Thursdays so I know I am missing a few vendors that are here on sundays but the ones that is here when i come have beautiful fresh produce, art, flowers and crafty items. The vendors are friendly. I like to grab my produce for most of the week and walk away spending just about $20 for fruit and a variety of veggies. Lots of parking in the lot by Safeway and Longs.

Farmer's Market aficionado here... and Mānoa's FM takes 1st prize. I've been to a many, many, maaaaany FMs and this one's been my fave for the past couple of years. There's plenty of parking (shaded mostly) in the lot. It's a small market, with only 3 major farms represented here, all prices about the same, as well as produce. The prices here are much cheaper (in general) than other Farmer's Markets. There's a 1 more stand... a smaller stall on the other side of the pillar, and I call her our papaya lady. She's got the best sunrise papayas & priced waaay cheaper than anywhere else. Everything here is local & FRESH! and much of the produce is organic! Triple win! I love that they open early and stay open until early afternoon - which means you can sleep in! I've also rarely had the problem of having stuff run out midday, when I decide to crawl outta bed at 11am. There is also a baked goods canopy on the grass. This place is pet friendly and CASH ONLY. Don't forget to bring your reusable bags! Stalls have plastic bags, but don't be thaaat guy! The other little perk of this lovely FM is that it is mostly locals, and REGULARS so it's "where everybody knows your name..." *cue Cheers theme songs* Yelp 2017 Challenge: 8/25 read more

Great Sunday farmers market! I was able to get lychee (which are in season now) and they were super sweet! There is plenty of parking, and a variety of fruits and vegetables to choose from.

I really like this farmer 's market. I stopped by on my way to Manoa falls, but it's worth making the trip every weekend. It's very small, with much less prepared foods and crafts than other local farmer 's markets. All I wanted was fresh and local fruits and vegetables and that is what I got. No tour busses or crowds . This is in a parking lot with a Safeway, Longs drugs and other local businesses, so it's easy to get all shopping done at once. read more

I haven't been to Manoa Marketplace mall in years. Went to Le Crepe Cafe on Thursday and discovered a Farmer's Market full of all kinds of produce! I love my Pearlridge Saturday Farmers Market because it's so convenient and has some yummy food vendors, too but the fresh produce that's available is rather limited and I sometimes crave other fruits and veggies. Manoa Farmer's Market did not disappoint! There were THREE different kinds of local papaya between all of the vendors, along with different kinds of avocados and mangos. There were even organic (artisan) broccoli and shallots! They are rare at the other place. I also liked that one vendor had a lot of Thai cooking seasonings and ingredients not found at the local grocery store. They don't have food vendors serving meals but the mall has plenty of eating places to choose from (such as Le Crepe Cafe and Fendu Boulangerie sand others) o this is not an issue. They are open Tues, Thurs, Sun. from 7 - 2. Not sure if there are different vendors on different days. Shall have to find a reason to go back on a different day to find out. I wish I had known about this farmers market before getting there - I would have been prepared to shop longer! read more

Came on a Thursday ~11:30 am. I like to get local items like watercrest and okra from here because they are cheaper than most grocery stores. I'm not big on expensive food vendors at farmer's market's, but 5 stars for me would be an affordable market w/ a must-go food vendor to make you want to eat while you shop. Note: There are 2 guys who own a stand who also sell produce at UH Manoa CC on Tueesdays and Fridays. So fresh finds can be found in Monoa all week long! read more

I love this little farmers market. The merchants are always super friendly and prices are fair, and duhhhh gotta support local!!! Be sure to pay attention to the signage stating "local" though if that's what you want as they have a mix of imported fruit/veg as well. I get my favorite homemade green papaya salad dressing here, as well as pre-shredded green papaya and carrots. Ughhh so yummy, I always stock up on dressing and salad!! You can also buy fresh cut fruit like (seasonally) dragon fruit, mango, watermelon! Sometimes the anthurium flower stand is there too, super cheap little colorful bundles $3-10. Everything CASH ONLY, but FHB within steps if you need. Lots close parking and Long's Drugs And Safeway conveniently located right next door. read more

Ah, I just love this place! It's not as cheap as Chinatown, but it's right down the street from me and stays open MUCH longer than its listed hours. On Sundays, I regularly stroll in around 3pm, sometimes nearer to 4pm. My only complaint is the herbs. Every other product is sold in a reasonable quantity, except the herbs! I only need a couple teaspoons of thyme, but if I want it from the Farmer's Market, I have to purchase a $5 bag of herbs that I'll first overuse, and then throw out when the remainder rots. But hey, if you grow herbs at home, which you should, everything else is a win. PRO TIP: Check the papayas in the stall further from the parking lot. It's about 30-70 cents cheaper per pound. Same might go for the avocados. read more
