The Saturday Farmer's Market at KCC
After several months of excuses, we finally drug our lazy selves down to the Saturday Farmers' Market at Kapiolani Community College today. The market convenes every Saturday year-round, from 7am to 11am, and is one of the few farmers' markets on the island which limits vendors to all Hawaii grown produce and good products.
I now understand what we've been missing.

The Saturday Market isn't exceptionally large, but it more than makes up for it in variety and quality. Check out a sampling of the offerings from this morning: ginger syrup, watercress, fried green tomatoes, corn shoots, homemade sausage, kukui honey, fresh moi, orchids, tsukemono, beignets, negi onions and shaved ice. After the wasteland that is Safeway's produce department some days, the Saturday Market was our Promised Land.
I'm a sucker for farmer's markets, often buying food I don't really need simply because it looks so damn good. Today, we got off light: North Shore Cattle Co. non-GMO Andouille Sausages, Big Island Macadamia Nut Pesto Goat Cheese, kale, negi onions (both from Milner's Farm) and a bag of Waialua mixed cherry tomatoes.
