STEVE's AKAKA FALLS FARM Jams, Butters & Honey: This review…read moreis specifically for Steve's Akaka Farms Giving them 5 stars for their great tasting jams, butters, and honey! Giving 5 stars for Katy, who works at the Pearlridge Farmers Market location in Saturdays. She is a ray of sunshine, with her great smile and loves to share samples of their product. Be careful, though because when you taste the delicious products you'll have to get something! Their passion fruit habanero is amazing with cream cheese and crackers or as a glaze for meats. If you combine it with cream cheese it softens the heat. They do have one with ghost peppers or Caroline Reaper peppers but beware - I bought it for my friend who loves heat and she said it's really hot! They have amazing butters - try any of their chocolate butters and you'll think you are in heaven! Note-these are seasonal so there may be different ones available when you visit. Award winning Coconut black chocolate is absolutely amazing, rich, and decadent and the best way to eat this is to get a big spoonful then just sit there and savor the flavor. The Kona coffee dark chocolate is also amazing. Hard to decide which is better! Got a jar if passion fruit Hawaiian pepper (chili pepper) smoked pineapple Kentucky whiskey to use as a glaze for meat. Can't wait to use it. These also make great gifts to send to or give to suiting folks from the mainland to give them a taste of Hawaii. I like the POG jam for islanders who have relocated to the mainland because it's like a taste of home. Kona coffee butter and mango are also divine. I have the mango for me...! I also got a jar of the mango honey and it's marvelous, too! These are high quality and a bit pricey, but after going to the craft fair at the Blaisdell, the prices are not too much more if not comparable. ...AND they are available weekly! If you go and sample a flavor you like, be sure to ask if it's seasonal (such as mango) or not. If it's seasonal - get it. It may not be available again until the next season. Me

Stumbled across the Pearlridge Farmers Market only because I had to kill some time because my car…read morewas being serviced across the street @ Firestone. 1st time here and poor thing very small Farmers market with probably less than 30vendors . A mix array of vegetables, produce and food booths. In the middle there's a small tent for dinning along with live entertainment. I walked around less than 10mins nothing really cached my eye . It's hard nowadays because on a Saturday other big farmers market is going on ! The KCC and Kakaako farmers Market is also on a Saturday. Support local

They accept credit card (usually for purchases over $10) and you can withdraw cash from the ATM out front. It's kept clean and stays busy on the weekends, and it's great hearing the community of all ages gathered here

They had soursop for $1.99/lb! I bought a small and a large one, so sweet. They even had Filipino foods there. I had an Ilocos empanada. I never knew this empanada existed. It was so good dipped in garlic vinegar. I have to say, I'm so glad my friends brought me here since it was hard to find a farmers' market near Ko'Olina. Mahalo!

One of the biggest swap meets on the island, and probably the most popular. There are dozens of…read morevendors, and yeah, some of them sell similar stuff, which honestly works in your favor if you're trying to grab souvenirs without paying Waikiki prices. But if you want something a little more special, definitely look for the local vendors. There are some great spots with handmade items. A few of my favorites that I actually bought from and brought home and I am using: - Cheeky Beach: super cute beachwear by Vivian and her son (they also have a shop in Haleiwa) - Touch of a Goddess: handmade jewelry by a mother-daughter duo - Leonardo Dale Photography: beautiful photo art of the island now displaying at my house. There's a ton to see, so go with time, it's a big market. They also have food and sometimes live music. Admission is $2 per person (cash only), and I'd recommend bringing cash since a lot of vendors don't take cards.

The stalls consolidated across the street and rather than walking all round the stadium, the stalls are lined in neat rows (some in conexs that open up to be a store. All my favorite stalls seem to have made the move - the food trucks have also made the trek across the street. Parking is available in the back and also by the tram station parking lot - just need to walk a little bit. Cost remains $1 for Kama'ainas *locals) and active duty military, $2 for all else. A great place to purchase touristy items, but also stuff you don't think you need until you see it. Check it out! I'm glad the authorities realized the need to keep the Aloha Swap Meet.

Located in the upper Waikele Outlet parking lot, this farmer's market is conveniently on Sunday mornings. They finally resumed their farmer's market after two months, and I missed them when they had their break. Why? Although a smaller farmer's market that fills only a parking row, I love the certain regular vendors that I can buy delicious sunday lunch for my family. The plate lunches are big enough to share, filling and flavorful. There are lines for certain vendors, but it's not as crowded and chaotic as Waikele's what the truck friday night events. They also have dessert stands as well as local fruits and vegetables, including fresh coconut and sugarcane. All the vendors are super nice and friendly, and it's a relaxing sunday for me to browse the tents and buy lunch and dessert for myself and the family. Although this past week was only half a parking row full since they just started again, I'm looking forward to having more vendors added to fill a full parking row like last year. Lots of parking, but the upper waikele parking stalls are narrow, so it's a bit tight.

Da Bolalohan BBQ and grill is next door. Good Filipino food here. There are bathrooms available for use, however you will need a key to gain access. Service depends on where you are visiting. I enjoy the place I go to.

I decided to walk inside of the shopping center, and there was just a couple of vendors set up inside. I can tell from when I entered, that nothing appealed to me so we left without looking further. Otherwise, most of the shop was totally empty. This center is quite spacious with a lobby area with seats, the parking area has lots of parking. This place is located in the old Arakawa's in Waipahu. Not sure if I'll return except maybe to the open 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.

Not as sketchy as Chinatown and better (free) parking. It's good to walk through and scan the…read moreprices before buying. You can sometimes find papayas for $0.99/# among the vendors displays. Some even have off-grade veggies at discounted prices and pre-bagged veggies for $1 a bag. A good deal if you just need a small amount or you don't need grade A looking produce. Atmosphere is your typical Asian market: lots of smells, like fresh fish. Prices may not be rock bo cheap, but it's in a convenient location in the City Square SC. You also have a choice of many eateries as well.

I love buying my vegetables from any farmers market. Buy local, Live local help local farmers!!…read moreDON'T FORGET TO RINSE/WASH all vegetables too! 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?

The danish was soft and the outside had a light flaky crust. The croissants looked good but honestly didn't taste all that great. They were on the smaller side, a bit dry, had little filling and was very oily/buttery. Next time, I'll try some different danishes.

We enjoy coming to the Pearlridge Farmers Market that is held on Saturdays starting at 8 AM and…read moreending at 12 Noon. This Farmers Market is not as large as others on island but, for us, we are drawn to several particular vendors. Like moths to lightbulbs, as soon as we come to the market, we head straight for the Baker Dudes tent. The Baker Dudes offer all sorts of breads and pastries. The yeast-risen breads have a doughy home made texture or perhaps even more like from a bread machine texture... dense, hearty with a nice chew. The range of baked goods include sourdough boules, quick breads, tropical fruit sweet breads, stuffed croissants, cookies, scones and even sticky buns. I think they even have a mobile oven that the "dudes" bake their products fresh on the premises. We've tried their sweet bread, two weeks in a row, starting with mango then cinnamon. This weekend, we even bought their mango stuffed turnovers which were buttery and flaky puff pastry triangles of pure Aloha. TIP: We arrived late, around 11:15-ish and were told that because it was so near to closing, they priced their pastries to go at 3/$5. Their sticky buns and stuffed croissants sell out quickly. They accept cash only and are reasonably priced. Service is congenial and efficient. Don't forget to bring your re-useable bags to put your goodies in as you roam the market. If you miss this vendor, don't worry... Baker Dudes are ALSO regular participants at the Kailua, Ward and Haleiwa Farmers Markets. They have recently added a brick and mortar shop in Downtown Honolulu on Alakea Street. #394

Ok so I must say I love the fact that this farmers market is in my neighborhood!..maybe that's…read morebeing bias but really, the food is great and more vendors are adding onto the list every Monday. Its also nice running into friends and catching up while enjoying good food. Ok so the food... Since I love it so much its pretty hard to disappoint me but Id say i'm a good food critic. First off I have to admit ive had the best padthai and stirfry at Olay's Thai food. Im half Thai so I should know what i'm talking about right? Anyways, get a 2 choice and instead of rice substitute it with padthai! Mmmm you'll feel like you've just taken a quick vacation to Bangkok haha! Then there's Manny's bakery, ooh my, he's definitely going to make me fat. Baked goods galore! He promises that his Spanish rolls are better than infamous Nandings bakery. Ha! I bet you it is! not only does it taste BETTER, its BIGGER!! and I almost forgot, I absolutely LOVE the Onion Hopia! Mmm, its like sitting at the white sand beaches in Boracay! Heaven! Check it out every Monday 3-730p! If you don't know where Foster Village its, its across Radford.High school near the Stadium.

My favorite vendor is PIT FARMS for their bananas (both apple and ice cream varieties), salad mixes, and romaine lettuce. And not far behind is SMALL KINE FARMS (who is usually there the second and fourth Sunday of the month) for their baby portobello mushrooms. The workers at both booths are friendly and very helpful in answering any questions that you might have. There are several HANDICAP PARKING stalls near the entrance to the market.
