Okay, the secret is now out. This spot is always the first market I go to when I am in Chinatown and is a well kept secret among the frequenters of Chinatown. Where else are you going to find inexpensive organic produce that's so fresh, they harvest it daily and bring it into their store? Yes, you heard right. Inexpensive organic produce. Forget your Whole Foods and Farmer's Market where not everything is organic and you don't know always what the source of the vegetables are from. Not only that, why do you have to pay a high price for organic vegetables? It totally defeats the purpose of eating clean and healthy.
At B.I. Farms, a bunch of kale is a dollar. Just one dollar, not two, three, or four at Farmer's Markets. They're also my source for choy sum, long beans, and eggplants. All grown themselves and harvested. Straight outta Compt..eer I mean North Shore. Everything is inexpensive, fresh, and good.
This place is such a great deal that most worthwhile stuff is sold out before 10am. There's usually a small crowd eagerly anticipating its opening and what fresh vegetables they harvested before they open. When they finally do open, it can be quite a madhouse. You won't find much left after 10am.
Being that its just one of the many stalls in Maunakea Marketplace, the easiest way to find it is entering from the main entrance of the market on Hotel Street. Just go straight down to the back wall, you can't miss their big sign.
Enjoy never ever spending a "Whole Paycheck" on your vegetables ever again and to those who know about this place already, I apologize. read more
