Great thread!
There is a relatively new all-local farmer's market in Hilo too. It is on the corner of Kinoole and Kahaopea, and it is every Saturday from 7 until noon. It is fairly small, but there is an okay selection, parking is easy, and it is nice to get to meet and talk to the farmers without all the hustle and bustle the downtown Hilo and even Makuu markets have. Check it out some time!
A question about milk at KTA... I usually buy the Mountain Apple brand milk at KTA. Is it actually Big Island milk? The reason I ask is that the price is very competitive (less than $5 a gallon) - seems like other island milk I see is more expensive. It does say "Island Fresh" on the lid. I asked an employee once, he didn't know for sure, but said all Mountain Apple brand items are produced and/or processed locally.
Anyone know for sure??? Thanks!
