The low-key Kinoʻole farmers market is geared for locals, so don't expect the spectacle of the downtown market. The draw here? All produce and products sold are 100% locally grown and made. The dozen or so vendors are the actual farmers, offering produce, baked goods, taro chips, poi (steamed, mashed taro), coffee, plants and flowers. Parking is plentiful.
