Maui has a lot of farmers
markets – in the morning, or through the afternoon, at which point, pickings
get slim. So if you’re not an early riser, too bad for you.
But now, Maui has a night
time farmers market. Hurray!
The Upcountry Market in
Pukalani, although many would say it’s in Kula, since it’s on the edge of both
places, is getting evening hours.
Tuesday evening Farmers Market on Maui, 3 pm to 7 pm. |
Tuesdays 3 pm to 7 pm – in
the area across Longs Drugs or Longs Pharmacy, there will be farm stands with
fresh, locally grown produce. Some of it
is organic and some is conventionally grown, but the produce is usually
labeled, and you can always ask. So get your green fix. More info in the email from Haiku Helen.
Another tip: there’s a
store, which is very much like a farmers market called Rowena’s Produce in
Kahului. It’s open Monday through Saturday from 7 or 8 am to 6 pm. I’ve even
gotten there after 6 pm and they’ve still been open. It’s like a farmers market
but in a store. Prices are reasonable.
Location: 230 Hana Highway
Phone: (808) 419-1987
Rowena used to have a booth
at one of farmers market on Puunene Road, but last year, moved her produce
business to a store. The advantage is that she has refrigeration. If you can’t
make it to other farmers markets, her produce is very similar and has a good
selection, and is usually local. Just like other farmers markets, the selection
varies from week to week, and she can be sold out of certain fruits or
vegetables, or not have any due to the weather. But, Rowena does not have
organic produce, so if you shop in the evenings and need to buy organic, the
Tuesday Upcountry Market is your best bet.
