Hawaiian Farmer's Market, Waipa

"So much going on, fun but crazy."

Be there early with your running shoes!  Consumers are not allowed in until the actual start of the allowed selling period.  This means that people dash in as soon as the rope goes down.  Not quite as much of a foot race as the Koloa Sunshine Market- but close.  Good place to look for Organic Produce.  About 50%-75% of the farmers can have Organic Produce, depending on who's there at any given market.  Run by people who sell the flowers at the entrance, so no other flowers sold there.  Farmers do not need Sunshine Market permits to sell at this market, and the market fees are paid by the farmers on a per market basis.  Non-food items sold there occasionally as well, such as handmade jewelry made out of materials from nature (shells, seeds, etc.).  Most beautiful setting for a farmer's market - worth checking out for the ambiance.
