Arrived around 7:50 am on Sunday and had no issues parking ($2 well worth it). The variety of…read moreMaku'u Farmers market is unmatched- gorgeous fruit stands, lots of prepared food stands. The papaya salad was so fresh and at ($9) for a whole quart so affordable and easy to share with friends. The papaya stand was my favorite one as she makes the salad fresh in front of you. The purple tapioca potato pudding was so dense and interesting, really rich and lovely to try. I was also blown away by the macadamia nut croissant ($6), the croissant itself was fine, flaky and well baked, but the macadamia nut butter frangipane filling for the croissant stole the show. It was so decadent and sweet I savored every bite of the croissant! The marinated goat cheeses from the goat cheese stand were the most delicious goat cheese I've had in my life. Super creamy, luscious, silky and with interesting flavors. I grabbed two spicy goat cheeses I was so obsessed. There is so much to see eat and try! Happy I got to experience the Maku'u Farmers Market

This is a newer Farmer's market and popular with locals compared to the Downtown Hilo Farmer's Market located at oceanfront. Remember to bring $2 cash for parking and come early because by noon, the lot seemed to be filling up fast and many cars were lining up on the freeway to enter.

The prices were kinda pricey but competitive, they gotta make $ so you're paying for convenience after visiting the falls and wanting a fresh refreshment. $10 coconuts, that they open up after drinking so you can eat the meat. $8 for a bag of sugarcane but it had lime in it, which we didn't really care for. $8 bag of cut up pineapple, which was our favorite, nice and sweet and cold There was a nice sit down area to eat at multiple picnic areas and a spot to take silly photos. Parking was limited but there wasn't too much people there so we got a parking spot after someone left. I'd give it a 5-star review but I think they could've gave a small discount for buying more or if you're kama'aina..

I wish we could have spent more time there, but we had to leave for Maunakea. The baby goats touched my soul. They were so well behaved, so cute and so loving. Most of them were so gentle taking each feed by hand. No biting or nipping. There were a few very small timid gentle ones. These especially stole my heart. I highly recommend this for everyone , and if you visit you should really support their cause.

I'm also glad I happened to be a couple blocks away at that time, cause it would've stunk if I'd missed out! They have a whole range of great chocolates, from 55-90 percent that were all great, a fantastic matcha chocolate, great dried fruit chocolates, and one very good, *very* spicy dark chocolate (I loved it enough to buy a bar, but much more so than most pepper chocolates I've had, it does *not* play around.) Definitely also loved that they had samples of basically everything they sell. Also loved, we learned, it was actually the chocolatier himself running the shop when we were there, so all our questions were being answered directly from the source. It also worked out in that they didn't actually *have* any bars of the spicy chocolate out, as he'd just made a new batch and hadn't packaged them yet, so when he learned we were leaving the next day, he pressed one for me right then and there! How's that for great service?

Since it was hot and we were traveling by car, we opted for the cacao nibs and THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. We had them on ice cream paired with molten lava cake and I'm still thinking (drooling) about it.

Janelle the owner was a little bit scary and mean at times but she was definitely a nice person just very opinionated and intense. Accommodation was as nice as could be in the middle of the jungle with no electricity I guess. Janelle used to be a private chef and the few times she cooked for us were absolutely amazing, especially the curry ulu. Fresh fruit from the farm was delicious as well, I especially loved the tiny apple bananas.

We loved the friendliness how they were patiently answering our kids curious questions. The coconut was very good.

And we had it fresh off the tree such an experience!
