Hawaii farmers markets: A 4-island guide
Farmers markets — for residents of Hawaii, they’re our favorite places to buy locally produced, locally inspired goods. A place where we can go to see the same friendly faces every week and support the economy of our neighbors, friends, farmers, and creators.
For visitors, Hawaii farmers markets present a simple way to connect with the land. In the spirit of malama (meaning “to care for”), you’ll learn from locals and vendors who are experts in their fields of knowledge and who have been growing, cultivating, and hand-crafting here for generations. You’ll give back to the communities supporting your stay while staying stocked up on items like lilikoi, macadamia-nut everything, and rich Kona coffee.
So get ready for a super rewarding Hawaii experience — for both your taste buds and your spirit.
Note: Some of the markets listed below may not currently be operating as described due to safety guidelines. Please contact all locations prior to visiting.
Oahu
Think of Oahu as a place to “choose your own adventure.” At the farmers markets in Honolulu, you’ll feel the hustle and bustle of the state’s largest city. Meanwhile, up on the North Shore it’s all about Oahu’s “country” vibes. Wherever you visit, expect an abundance of local and delicious.

You might catch a pro surfer at this market come winter, as it’s located across the street from the Banzai Pipeline—the famous reef break—in Ehukai Beach Park. What you’ll definitely catch any time of year is great Hawaiian produce, like eggfruit (think marshmallows + sweet potato), star fruit, tangelo, and strawberry papaya. You’ll also find local jewelry and crafts (hello, little rings that look like ocean waves!). And never to be overlooked? The breakfast burritos.
