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.
