Farmers Market in Hawaii Kai has New Name, Same Purpose
The Makeke o Maunalua Farmers' Market has a new name, but its mission remains to serve as the weekly community social for East Oahu residents to support local farmers. Opened a month ago in the parking lot of Kaiser High, it is now called the Hawaii Kai Farmers Market and has a definite community focus.
In addition to fruits and vegetables, the market features massage tables, live musical performances, cooking classes, arts and crafts in a Keiki Korner and a cafe area for patrons to dine. Nearly half of the 31 business owners at the market are Hawaii Kai residents, and the operators of the market hope to increase that number.
Everything at the market is made or grown in the islands, from the sea asparagus from Kahuku to the fresh meats from Maui.
To help the community, vendors donate $5 of their sales to Kaiser High School's International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. It is one of four schools in the state that are certified with the nationally recognized college-prep program. Hours are 9-1 on Saturdays.
