There you go again, ted.
Trying to actually make a good point, as to what is and is not sold at Makuu Market.
I go to Makuu Market every Sunday, when it is open.
Buy organic greens, tomatoes, etc from Johnson Family Farm of Opihikao (went to Hilo last Saturday, where Johnson formerly sold and the absence of good greens was evident, although the local fruit was super impressive).
Also, rely on source there for macadamia nut butter and get good honey as well.
Rarely buy fruit, unless it is once a year Waimea strawberry or Kona mango. Grow our own.
In my observation, many of the produce vendors are buy-and-sell operations.
A day for just local produce sounds very interesting.
btw: The "Makuu Farmers" thing is about the Association that operates the market.
