I have been to numerous farmers markets around here. What really disappoints me the most is that 90% of these markets are not even farmers markets. I went today to Makuu market, and you can get everything from used toasters to hammocks to mexican food. And MOST of the vegetables and fruits are flown in from Oahu. I think there was 8 vendors today selling fruits. All of them are same price, packed same.
What can we do to get a REAL farmers market. I would love to see a farmers market that is only selling produce from your property. Or what above livestock?
It is a shame that as an agriculture island and community, we have "swap meets" disguised as farmers markets.
I would like to open up a real farmer market, but need some help. Any interest?
