Kauaʻi Farmers Markets

This article was originally published on July 1, 2015, and was updated Feb. 20, 2026.

You might be lucky to find locally-grown produce in supermarkets but the best source for fresh fruits and vegetables is at one of the many Kauaʻi Farmers Markets.

Farmers gather every day of the week except Sunday all over the island. They sell everything from produce to flowers, eggs, prepared foods, artisan crafts and more. You can even sip the water of an ice-cold coconut and have it opened for you afterwards to enjoy the meat inside at some of these markets. Not only will you find the freshest locally-sourced food here, you'll also help support Kaua‘i farmers in their food security and sustainability efforts.

Hale Halawai Farmers Market in Hanalei

The Hanalei Farmers Market is located on the beautiful grounds of Hale Halawai ‘Ohana O Hanalei (Hanalei’s Community Center) which is located behind Hanalei Poi and close to the much photographed little green church, Wai`oli Hui`ia Church. There is a soccer field between the church and Hale Halawai that everyone parks around.

The market has an abundance of fresh produce, including ice cold coconuts for drinking. Some of the farmers also offer fresh juices (mango, lilikoi, soursop), specialty breads (banana, mango), goat cheese, chocolate covered bananas, teas, natural health supplements/remedies and much more. Food vendors include Warung Bali, Po’okela Sausage Co. (locally sourced meat), Tambor Acai, Lighthouse Kombucha and Dave’s Breakfast Burritos.
