Stolen from - https://www.frankiesnurseryllc.com/ Da wahine heard about Frankie's from one of her friends and was adamant about visiting the farm. So off the farm we went... Drive slow, not need to ruin your car, the road is a bit rough when you start going deep into the nursery. Frankie's is on the Windward side, but basically in the mountains. You really need to know where you are going, it's most definitely off the beaten path. Cell reception starts to get much weaker... almost non existent. There are a healthy variety of plants for you to purchase, Frankie's is after all a nursery. But the main focus of this trip was to try the exotic fruits. They sell a variety of exotic fruits from around the world. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly and will gladly tell you about the fruits. They do have cut fruit platters for you to try, just make sure you bring a cooler bag, it's a journey onto itself to get here. There are few picnic tables in the back for you to enjoy fresh fruits, along with a hand washing station and a restroom. #ExoticFruits: ~ BLACK SAPOTE topped off with Whipped Cream - 5/5 Amazing. A MUST TRY! I never had anything like this. Nature's Chocolate Pudding!! ~ Exotic Fruit platter - 4.5/5 The platter changes on a regular basis... depending on availability and seasons. I never heard of some of these fruits. The best way to try a little of everything. Some of the fruits were delish, some very strange. I'd love to return and try some of the other fruits.

So, all you people out there who have never visited Waimanalo Country Farms, this is your chance. I did the hay ride. You get to hear a live story from the driver. No such thing as prerecording. It's like a historic museum ride about this farm. This farm strictly ran by a family of six generation if I remember correctly. I also got to try their lovely pumpkin pie and sweet tea. They were extremely fresh and good. I like to believe that they made it from scratch since they have all the ingredients.

We visited because we saw ads of the pumpkin patch and wanted to check it out ourselves. Military gets an entry discount for visiting too. This place also offers a riding tour on one of the trailers, there's also one for kids on a different ride. The most interesting part is the farm, we love seeing cute and small animals, the goats were the most active at the location, the donkeys were also loud. You can also feed the goats by visiting the food booth and paying one of the staff members for a cup of dried green bites. We took lots of pics, it was getting hot for us but what ever, it's Hawaii. Our favorite part was the sunflower field, it was away from the crowd and we can choose any lane to take pics, just watch out for bees if you're afraid of them or can't tell between wasps, yellow jackets or bees. It looked like a lot of the good pumpkins were already picked out so the pumpkin field looked pretty decent, the swing that's at the pumpkin patch area was a nice touch though.

Yesterday, it was for the Nagaoka fireworks display to commemorate the end of World War II. Today, it was for the Biggest Little Airshow. At both events I found 'Nalo Made Lemonade. They offer it in regular, pineapple, mango, strawberry, lilikoi and li hing. They only offer it in a 32 oz. mason jar. It's $7 and $4 for a refill when you bring back the jar. This is a better deal than Wow Wow Lemonade, which is the other lemonade vendor. They charge $10 initially, then $6 for the refill. I also prefer the 'Nalo Made Lemonade. It's not as watered down. It actually has a strong lemon flavor and it's not as tangy. I like the mango flavor and the hubby likes the lilikoi. The mango is just a tad bit sweeter, which is perfect for me. They also have two different stickers for their jars, which I found out today. The clear sticker jar is the girl and the black sticker is the boy.

My friend in Makakilo raves about her local open market so when I looked up where there was one near me, this market came up on the list. I was pretty excited to go the first time, but it was kind of a let down when you realize it's just one guy. I guess it's not intended to be very fancy. I have purchased my weekly vegetables here a couple times. The variety is limited to cabbage, onion, lemon, tomato, carrot, chili pepper, bell pepper and some other staples. They don't have fruits. But the guy is nice and it's nice to see people from the community stopping in the early morning before work to get vegetables. My husband (who grew up in waimanalo) said they would come to this market all the time so I guess it's been around for awhile.

The holiday open farm day was a delightful experience, featuring delicious hot cocoa, soothing live music with singing and guitar, and a creative ornament-making station stocked with paint, stickers, tape, and bells. We wrapped up our day with a $10 basket brimming with freshly picked vegetables--eggplant, vibrant carrots, fragrant cilantro, fresh basil, and a variety of kale. It was the perfect way to end our visit.
