Island of Maui Farmers' Markets
We are so lucky to live on an island with such a wide array of food. Not only are our options wide and unique but they are practically offered right to our doorstep. Maui has a plethora of Farmers' Markets located across the island. They offer food of superior quality, support local farmers, and create community in the process.
“Know your farmer, know your food.” When you buy directly from a farmer, you’re pretty much guaranteed real freshness. You’re supporting a local business — maybe even a neighbor!
Our Maui Farmers' Markets don't only offer fresh produce and food. They have local made jewelry, art, skincare-products, and much more. If you're here on vacation, consider purchasing your souvenirs from local artisans. These markets are the perfect place to shop for gifts and support the locals of the place you are visiting.
I hope you enjoy this list of Farmers Markets and find some 'ono grinds you’ve never tried. Whether it’s for your groceries or for gifts to bring home, enjoy!
