Hilo Farmers Market – Buy Local!
Monday, August 15th, 2011Where else can you get all of this for around 20 bucks in Hawaii?
From top left, clockwise: eggplants, okra, avocados (so buttery), apple bananas (sweetest), white sugar loaf pineapple (like pure sugar), cilantro (super fragrant), long beans, bittermelon, jalapenos, and the most juicy ripe local tomatoes.
We go to the farmer’s market here in Hilo at least once a week to stock up on our produce with the tastiest organic fruits and vegetables ever, grown locally. So much cheaper and better than the stuff shipped in… why buy anywhere else?
I find it crazy when I go to a restaurant here and find a tastless rock hard tomato on my burger or salad. We live in such a fertile place with cheap produce. Buy local!
