Utilizing the sous vide as well as pan finishing the outside makes this multi-step preparation worthwhile to the waiting customer - and you can't put a pricetag on high quality food! I don't eat meat so I didn't eat the beef part of this dish but the oozy egg center was an awesome touch to this already beautiful masterpiece. It looks and tastes like something from another planet. My vegan friend got inspired and is going to try to make a vegan version of this at home now. Bring some to the farmers market and see how fast they go!

#126 of 2017 Small…read moremarket with mostly craft vendors. The day I came the Pipeline Masters Surfing Championship was also happening so not sure if that would have an effect on vendor attendance. On this particular day however, there were about 15 vendors. I was looking for food and that's all I cared about. One vendor specialized in coffee but I still had a cup in my hand. And one other vendor was serving food cooking it on the spot. Talk about cook to order. One other vendor was dishing out plate lunches. Didn't see anything I liked there. Another vendor specialized in teas like lemon ginger turmeric which I really liked. Didn't notice the other vendors. It's a small quaint market. If you happen to be in the area you may want to check it out. Refill on some of the supplies you may need. People were polite, friendly and nice. You can park inside the location, Sunset Elementary School. Good thing too because cops were giving tickets to everyone parked on the street.

I pulled into the Haleiwa Farmers' market in Waimea Valley on a whim. Not yet wanting to return…read morehome, I was driving along when I saw a sign advertising it and it happened to be in full swing. Occurs Thursdays from 2-6pm. Parking was tight (but free!) and I found a spot after a few minutes before making my way into a covered common area. There were many vendors packed into a small space of the Pikake Pavilion making it somewhat difficult to navigate but forced me to slow down and take it all in. There were may food vendors, some crafts, and local produce available to peruse. The variety was nice and the prices reasonable. Everyone was very friendly and I had a great time shopping. My husband and I bought some honey and a number of apple bananas. There is a small seating area where you can enjoy your bounty or simply relax. We walked around the grounds and were entranced by a pair of peacocks hanging out in some very high branches. Due to recent rains, there was a swollen river to sit down by and watch the clouds roll by from under a fantastically large and beautiful tree. Wish I had been able to check into this location with time to tour the rest of the grounds.

There were some good eats here. Prices are average. My fave was the slushy honey pineapple drink in a coconut shell for $10. Don't pass this up. Good thing their was no entrance fee. There is limited parking. This was held at the 'Waimea Visitors Center'. Just don't expect an actual farmers Market...[113/100]

It was a yearly thing for us - late Mar through mid-Apr. Fried bananas were awesome too! But then we started seeing produce boxes and packaging that were similar to the ones back home in NY. My kids picked up on it and at first I just brushed it off - No way would they be buying fruit from the grocery store and upcharging tourists. Not these sweet little old ladies. Turns out, that's exactly what they were doing. Fast forward to our most recent trip - April 2nd 2026. Trump's tariffs went into effect and all of a sudden, none of the exotic fruits were to be found. The sweet little old ladies, who btw are all filipinos (not native Hawaiians), claimed that the fruits we've been buying during same time for several years were now out of season! Hmmm..... sus! The only fruits they had were papayas, mangoes, guava and coconut slices. Please beware before shelling out top dollars thinking the fruit at these stands are locally grown! And now the prices for the same plastic bags are $7.

She did find a couple different kinds of banana and bought a couple of each. They had so many amazing things it made for a great place to stop. They were close to closing, so we really didn't get a great look at things. Plus, we were on our way to the beach. I wish I could remember the other thing my wife bought, I just remember she loved it. Since my son likes to get unusual ball caps, he bought one there. I was about to buy one for myself when he bought it, but I couldn't do that to him. An amazing place to stop for fresh fruit.

Every Saturday morning feels like a reset for the soul. It's at the old sugar mill Saturday's 8:30-1:30. No early birds! You have to wait until 8:30 to shop, no exceptions. What truly sets this market apart, though, is the people. The vendors are some of the best you'll ever meet -- kind, honest, hardworking, and genuinely passionate about what they do. I've met some truly wonderful people here, the kind who make you feel connected to the community the moment you arrive. From local organic produce to fresh flowers, honey, mushrooms, handmade jewelry, sourdough bread, and so much more, there's always something special to discover. It's getting more popular and busier each week, which is such a good thing -- it speaks to how special this market really is. If you love supporting local, value quality, and want to experience the heart of the North Shore, Waialua Farmers Market is a must. I honestly can't say enough good things about it. See you there and SYOY! Deb B
