If you're wondering: "Locavore" is a person whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food. Add a bunch of uniques gift ideas by Big Island artists and life is complete. Located in the heart of old town Hilo on Kilauea Avenue is where you'll find Locavore or as locals will know it's next to Ben Franklin. The staff of Sam and Audrey were genuinely kind and welcoming. I was most impressed with their knowledge of products and pride in what they had to offer. My sister (who I was visiting) purchased fresh non-GMO produce and pickled namasu. Since I was visiting Hilo I chose unique stickers and postcards to take home with me. I really felt a warm peaceful vibe while browsing around The Locavore Store. On a Sunday afternoon it was filled with curious customers. Health conscience hippies, those looking for island arts & crafts, and a few locals living la viva Locavore lifestyle. What a fab gem in old town Hilo. Til next time... Pls follow my adventures IG: @eric_travel_guru

Stopped here while visiting Hilo and got to-go. There was a lot of food in a serving and we…read morethought we wouldn't eat it all, but we did (besides the rice). I got the Furkaki fish with green salad. If i was basing my rating only on this dish, I'd give it 5 stars. Yum! It was piping hot and it came with a thousand island dressing that i think was home made and it was way better on the fish than the tartar sauce. So i ate the salad and the fish together with that sauce. Amazing! My husband had the chicken with curry on it. This was good, but not great. The Chicken was sliced too thin so there was more breading than chicken. And there wasn't quite enough curry sauce on top of it to really get a good curry flavor. There was a lot of it so my husband didn't even eat all of it. He got the Ube side and it was really interesting for someone not from Hawaii. But I really liked it. More about the place: it's a little market and they sell all kinds of dried fruit and other spices and things. The have a counter in the back you order at. It took a bit to make the food, but it was fresh! The seating area is outside and they have picnic tables with umbrellas. We ended up taking it to eat at the beach. If I'm ever back in Hilo, I would definitely go back for the fish!

I subscribed to this CSA January through March. I wanted to try it for a while to see what they…read morehad to offer. I was surprised by my first CSA. Among some pork and beef products, there also was a whole rabbit included! Through the 3 months I subscribed, I got the following cuts/meats: -Rib eye steaks (beef) -2-minute steaks (beef) -Italian Sausage (pork) -Whole Rabbit -Thai sausage (pork) -Breakfast patties (pork) -Half a chicken -Porterhouse Steaks (beef) -Rack of Lamb -Lamb riblets -Pork Chops -Aged burger patties (beef) -A sample of spicy bacon -Beef Stew meat -Beef Oso bucco -ground beef There may have been an item or 2 I am forgetting, but these items were split between the 3 months. My favorite items were the rib eye steak, the rack of lamb, and the bacon. My least favorite were the 2-minute steaks (they were not cubed, so were mega tough), the breakfast sausage (gave me indigestion), and the pork chops (my husband and I got food poisoning from this item). I enjoyed the CSA and may subscribe to it again, despite getting sick from the pork, but one of the other difficulties is the price. What we got for $100 a month was nice (some months were a better value than others), but hard to sustain during these difficult times. Overall, I would recommend, though getting sick was a bit of a downer and some people may not want to take that risk.
