Just so consumers know...there is very little to no local, organic produce at the markets. There are about 3 or 4 vendors that have local produce...You can find them.
Everything gets shipped to Hilo from Oahu, stored in the building behind KTA (on Fernau (sp?). If you walk by there you can see all the Oahu boxes stacked with everything you see at the market.
That's why all the veggies look the same and everyone is selling the same stuff. It's conventional, sprayed veggies not grown locally or organically.
Just so you know.
