Nice farme market the fruit, the vegetables all special. I enjoy with take pi. Fruit, vegetables and dresses and artisans jewelry

One of the best deals on the whole island. Make this place part of your routine for fresh fruit and veggies. Easy parking and pay cash.

Even with the pandemic, there are still many stalls open to provide us with fresh fruits and veggies. They are well spaced and because it is all outdoors, well ventilated. The prices are reasonable, and the quality is good.The food is good too. I usually go to the Star bakery stall and Thai truck. I miss the BBQ meat uncle. The wait was a long sometimes, but the meats were delicious!

Lots of fruit, vegetables, honeys, balsamics and hand made items. Masks required in the outdoor market. One way directional markers, hand sanitizer and online ordering available.

Nice people, good prices, good produce. Rain or shine. Lovely.

A classic for years. Great fruit and veggie selection along with some true jewelry artisans and of course some cheap stuff too. Try the Peruvian tamales!

Always laid back. Be sure to bring cash. Thats all they accept. Beautiful of seasonal sustainable fruits

Great local fresh produce at great local prices! Has good COVID guidelines. Come here and cook for yourself if living in/ visiting Hilo!

Fresh fruits and veggies. Must go for grocery shopping versus buying veggies and fruits from the store thats imported elsewhere.

Vibrant little market with fruits and veggies on their regular days. Theres one lady with dried apple bananas that I am completely obsessed with. For $3/bag i will literally buy them all!

We went on a Wednesday. Lots of produce vendors and vendors to get good locally sourced souvenirs! Coffee stand was delicious. Parking was easy to find close by on the street. Bring reusable bags or something to carry items you purchase as not all vendors have bags. Have fun!

Its full of fresh locally-owned and locally organic foods grown here.

They have a good selection of food and fruits. Really good deals on the fruits.

Victorian style buildings. Charming shops and a famous Farmers Market. Shots catching the morning sunrise from our stateroom on the Pride of America cruise ship.

Came on a Wednesday to take advantage of the mid week bonanza we come to call Hilo Farmers Market. This entire area has a market for everyone’s desire. Be it food, coffee, produce, antiques, locally produced art...With every large area comes some hits and misses but this location truly is more a hit than anything else.The market is fully open every .Wed and Sat with 300+ vendors while on any other day, expect 10 or so stores net open for comparison

This was a pretty good Farmers market to pick up some local produce, food, or other products. You can find some hand crafted good here as well as typical souvenir items. The parking wasnt bad but a little congested due to the small land area of the market. It is a relatively small market and would not even compare to the magnitude of markets in Korea or Japan. But was worth about an hour to shop and eat lunch.

Awesome selection of local goods and crafts. Fruit and veggies (and some fresh, prepared foods) on one side and jewelry, shirts, oils, etc on the other side. Lots of Hawaiian print stuff, shirts, bags, etc. Stock changes depending on which vendors are selling that day.

Wonderful selection of local fruits and vegetables. As well as a lovely selection of local craft items. Love the Island fresh Honeys they have, a delight to the taste buds.

Living in the mainland, there are a lot of fruits that arent available as they are here in Hawaii. So coming to this farmers market was a pleasant surprise. There are a lot of fruits that I miss eating, especially the mountain apple and lychee! Wished we had the variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers in San Diego. Prices are cheap (e.g. small bag of about 8 mountain apple was $2.50), but definitely compare prices with different vendors to find the best price. Parking isnt a problem with lots of parking spaces around the local businesses (but best to come early). Definitely would go back next time in Hilo.

People are doing theyre best with what hand theyre dealt with..

We found the people equally as wonderful as their crafts and produce. Exceptional! And then we discovered the best shave ice on the planet...pursuant to a friendly recommendation from a superior craft vendor. Major yum!

We went on a Wednesday when its a Big Market Day (Wednesday and Saturday). We read about the market previously online and through reviews before we planned to go, so not sure if everything we read set our expectations too high. Were more about the food, and while the prices were very reasonable, there wasnt a great variety of foods. Most vendors had similar produce (mainly fruit), which were cool to see, but was hoping to see more food vendors and more variety of different types of food (baked goods, desserts, drinks, cooked local dishes, etc.). The avocados are huge! There is a kitchen and couple food trucks across the street from the produce, the food truck we visited (Litchon) was quite delicious. Still glad we went during our visit, but not a must-see for us! There were also other large sections of the market for crafts, which we didnt walk through, but looked nice.

Great produce. Huge variety. We were there on an off day as the big market days are Wednesday and Saturday but we werent disappointed.

Great selection of foods and we loved the local artisan displays of photography and craft items. The market also has very good prepared foods. The live music was a very nice touch.

Best place for great prices on fruit and veggies .plus the chance to help out the local farmers in stead of buying Mexican avocados or equador bananas from sack n save .lavaloha has been selling the best chocolate on the island along with other fresh goods Saturday mornings #eatlocal. Mahalo and aloha dont forget to save fruit seeds for your own personal garden

Too many outdoor markets are considered a Farmers Market. I get the concept but I went here expecting the worse. You been there before. Vendor after vendor and just nothing food related but there are a ton of home goods. This is a TRUE Farmers Market. There are two sides and one is a the Farmers Market. A ton of produce and food items. Anything from star fruit to nuts to honey. It is a small market with two isles and nobody knows how to obey traffic laws, keep that in mind if you have kids. You will want to make sure that you keep track of them as everyone is packed in.On the other side of the street is a couple of food trucks and a food/beverage stand along with more vendors of other goods. Not food, you are looking more at like homemade or NON-MASS-PRODUCED goods. There are a couple of good little shops that might have what you are looking for but OVERALL this is a good place to go.Check the WEBSITE before you go. There are a couple of days where there are a ton of vendors and there are days where there is minimal vendors.

The Hilo farmer’s market is open daily with Wednesday and Saturday being the big market days with more vendors. Locals shop here for fresh produce, coffee, Hawaiian gifts and crafts. There is a large selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. Don’t miss the mangos if they are in season. Also baked goods , juices, and amazing fresh flowers. Not to be missed during a visit to Hilo

It only happens twice a week, but it should be part of any Big Island trip. The produce was fresh. When I say fresh, I mean like grandma nust picked it and brought it inside. There are several other vendors selling everything from jewelry to photographs of the island. The overall feel is mellow and relaxing. It is also not so big you feel like you completed a hike afterward. There are some things with checking out nearby as well. A museum is 2 blocks away that focuses on the uninhabited Hawaiian islands including Midway that explains the history and protected status of the islands and has activities for small children. Best part, its free.

Hilo farmers market is a perfect market to get some local fruits and veggies, shop for gifts and local made items, clothes, snacks and house hold goods. The market has a little bit of everything and live music plus numerous stores and eateries surrounding the area so your walk can turn into going to the market then lunch and shopping to walking all around Hilo town square area. The weather is best looked at before you go as it can rain often in Hilo and other days be beautiful and full of sun. Parking is not bad just watch the parking signs for days and hours in certain areas you can park. Prices might seem a bit high on some items but no one said Hawaii was cheap right. Enjoy the market and the local people they love to talk story. Enjoy Hilo and all it has to offer.

Having bags with straps is a must, so many different fruits and veggies to buy. There is an art of presentation here, I was very impressed. Our bags were heavy, left between rain showers.

Good place for fruit and vegetables. Wednesday and Saturday are the bigger days.There are food trucks and restaurants to grab lunch. Tried the BBQ pork ribs and chicken wings combo from letche. And tried the poke bowl from the poke place.

Cool market with fresh produce and locally made items. Great place to grab fresh fruit before a hike in Hilo!

Yay fresh Locally grown vegetables and fruits, plus many other goodies are found at the open market fresh baked breads, lunch and dinner Bentos, Japanese and Phillipines delicious plates smoothies, omg it really is endless our farmers market has even just to add clothing, need to purchase a gift go to Hilo Farmers Market.

ALOHAOUT.

Who doesnt love the idea of picking your fruits/ veggies from a local market from a cheerful community. This was quite the experience to see so many colourful and delicious foods available. I also had to check it out again on Saturday as I heard this is when the real fun begins.I just wish there was fresh meats available mostly fish, personally would have made this experience a bit more rewarding.

Good location. Very colorful atmosphere and many vendors with local items. Authentic Hawaii under one roof. Be prepared for a local rogue rain shower at times. The rain smells good. That is Hilo. Rain = green. ALOHA

Amazing experience here! Beautiful weather, the best smoothies and unique food ever! I wish I could come every week! The best part was when I bought banana bread and cookies from the nicest woman ever!!!! I also had my cards read and that was a great experience as well.

I so miss the old Hilo Market that was a multi level structure that had SO much to offer.... I here there are bids to build a new one that may be cost prohibitive.... hope this will happen... say a prayer to Mayor Kim and the County of Hawaii Island....

More stores and shops on Saturday compared to other days of the week. Fruit is fresh and slightly cheaper than Kona farmers market. Side street parking is available (non-meter).

Passion fruit drinks at the end if the stands are the best. The logan fruits are really good here, only $3 if you buy a lot and bargain a little bit. Mangosteen is expensive and you have to really choose them carefully.

If you go to Hilo you must go to the farmers market. It has any and everything that you could think of.

The market is not very big,but you can find a lot of very fresh and local grown vegetables and fruits there.

Really limited selection with not many vendors. Was impressed at the size of the avocados, never seen anything like it in Canada

Produce was awesome. Many neat booths. Had some awesome pad thai at a food truck.

Great place to experience local market with fresh fruits and food options. The market on Saturday also includes local arts and goods.

I love Hilo Farmers Market. The freshest of produce at a fraction of supermarket prices.

Located in Downtown Hilo, the Market is known as one of the best open markets in Hawaii. Each week can be a different market as the items on sale can vary from fruit, vegetables antiques and handcraft to exotic produce, ready-made meals, souvenirs, beauty products, clothing, massage therapy products or precious stones amongst other interesting items to be found. The market offers affordable food, which both locals and visitors come to see, the majority being locally grown. You can find exotic fruit, herbs, island jams and jellies, macadamia nuts and delectable baked goods. Get there early to shop for the best choices from the market’s more than 200 vendors. The full scale market is best seen every Wednesday and Saturday, but some vendors are there almost every day. Near by the market you will also find souvenir shops with hand made products from wood from the area.

Hilo Farmers Market was great! Number 1, I think it is amazing that this a daily market, with Saturday being the big day. Second, it is a good balance of crafts, herbal, food, and produce vendors. We were able to items like herbal salves, homemade ashwaganda paste, powdered coconut milk, star fruit, earrings.. the list goes on. Excellent farmers market! Definitely worth checking out, especially on Saturday.

Check it out if you want to taste local produce in its full glory. Local fish, pineapples, Mangoes, avocadoes and what not. There are local merchants selling hand made organic cosmetics etc.

I enjoyed this market. Many small and local vendors. Some of it is a bit touristy of course, but there is a lot there for locals too. We got some excellent produce and honey.It is a little bit scattered and has a lot of confining spaces, but otherwise, pretty good.

A decent place to grab some fresh fruits and veggies. Kinda crowded but normal.

Lots of variety of fruits and veggies at much better price than these expensive grocery stores. Papayas 2 for $1 white pineapple $2/lb. lychee jackfruit sweet potato taro several different avocado varieties. Big ripe avocados 3 for $5. Mangos were cheaper than grocery stores but still expensive compared to Miami bc they don’t grow easily here on the island. Watercress $3. So many different things. I’ll definitely be returning! One stall seller in particular was rude but everyone else was pretty nice.

Great assortment of goods! A lovely vibe with friendly sellers. The produce, coffee, and honey available often had samples and were all delicious.

This was my first stop after getting off the airplane. It didnt disappoint! There are lots of vendors with a good variety of tropical, and not so tropical, fruits and vegetables.You can find honey, medicines and lots of artsy stuff here as well.

On Big Market day, a crowded, fun atmosphere with plenty of places to get some nice souvenirs and amazing fruit. On other days, a great place to visit. Nice food trucks, great coffee and poke (if there on time...)

Who doesnt like farmers market? Came a bit late so stalls were already closing. Majority left were fruit stands and some jewelry. wish there was more of a variety. Neat that there is a snow cone shop next to it. Love the location, walking distance to local shops and restaurants.

Definitely worth the visit while in Hilo! So many delicious dishes and the produce is great! Just make sure you bring cash, most vendors only accept cash, but there is an atm near by.

Great local fruits and vegetables. Cross the street for arts and crafts. Try the poke or green papaya salad at the kitchen food area.

Awesome! We were looking forward to visiting the market and it did not disappoint. We bought a fresh coconut to drink from an extremely friendly man. Then we bought a wide selection of fruit with the help of one of the vendors. He explained the unique tripical fruits to us and helped us pick ones that were ripe and beautiful. So friendly. The prices are fair. Dont forget to check out the shave ice and cold brew. The live music was an awesome touch!

So fun! Great produce, ready to eat food, local honey, flowers, art, clothes, jewelry :)

Fruits, souvenirs, clothes and fresh coconuts. Best days to visit are Wednesday and Saturdays.

Wonderful, open all week farmers market. People are friendly and there’s everything from fruit to coffee. Prices reasonable too.

Love coming here. Fresh food and good people.

Cool people, great stuff, fun vibe.

If you love a farmers market, enjoy tropical fruits and the freshest flowers there are farmers markets everywhere but if you want beautiful, fresh Tumeric roots hit this place up! Fresh ginger, Bagarang, onion clusters, etc. The best way to est clean is hit the markets daily!!

Very simple and compact area to have a meal outdoors. Sanitized everytime and all the time.

One of the best Farmers markets in the islands. Great little flea market right next to it. Always have lots of produce and great fruits.

Been around forever. Great selection of fresh produce and products. Must see while in Hilo town.

Tasty food. Self-made souvenirs. Good music and atmosphere.

Went on a small market day. Cute market place with food and crafts. Very nice shop keepers in all the shops. Was able to get some jewelry as Christmas gifts from a stall from two lovely aunties

Lychee fruit, 1lb $3. Delicious.

This is a great place to buy local arts and crafts plus some of the most amazing food you will ever eat at the prices are fantastic. Shop here. And spend a couple dollars to eat. Very inexpensive food. The best place to visit here in Hilo.

Amazing views, relaxing, quiet spot to spend a day with sounds of surf. Few people and no buss loads of tourists.

Visited on a Tuesday - it was a fun cute market. Although the google map says the market is open from 6am, they didn’t have too many vendors till around 1pm. Was disappointed with the size when we initially visited around 10am but was satisfied when we decided to revisit after our lunch.

The cov-virus has everyone staying indoors and ive noticed a few vendors not their , hopefuly its not permanent this is peoples lively hood,I also work at the farmers market.

Hilo Market has long been among the best in Hawaii- the most produce and the most accessible.

I enjoy supporting local and eating fresh produce and cooked goods. This is where I get Apple Bananas, avocados, lettuce, fern shoots, honey, rambutan, passion fruit, lychee, fresh lemonade, tamales, pineapples and so much more. The best days to go are Wednesdays and Saturdays early in the morning. Vendors know which things are ready to eat immediately or in a few days. Just ask! Oh, I can forget the fresh coconut. Theyll cut open the coconut, give you a straw to drink the coconut juice, when you finish drinking it all (after walking around a bit) come back and theyll cut it opened so you can eat the fresh coconut meat!

Grew up as a young teenager in Hilo and coming to the Hilo Farmers Market is just something that you want to do.

Bought some cute hair combs and clips made from lauhala, the woman who made them was awesome!

5 stars on Wednesdays and Saturdays, they are the biggest vendor days for hot and cold food, large variety of local & organic produce vendors, honey, breads and much much more. Ono fresh prepared sweets and savory. Vegan too! Locally made jewelry, clothing, art, etc. I have not lived in Hilo for years but sure it has changed as its a huge tourist stop for big boats.

We attended the Wednesday market.We liked: Some booths sold fresh fruit and produce. Others had art and photography. People were friendly and happy to chat about their items, let you try a sample, etc.We didnt like: Not many options for food or drinks to consume on site. There was a restaurant that appeared to operate every day although I dont consider them part of the market. Several of the vendors sold items that were totally unrelated to Hawaii, such as trinkets, toys, clothing that appeared to be imported from China. We didnt feel that added value to the market or the overall experience.Bathrooms are available for customers of the restaurant. There were no public restrooms.Parking was on-street but there were several street options within a 5 minute walk.

Had the most amazing and flavourful fruits. And amzing tasting coconuts.

Fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers. Wide variety of tropical fruits and diverse vegetables. Good prices too! Cheaper than the Kona market. In addition, you can purchase trinkets and other items and buy pre-made meals from other vendors. If you make it over to the Hill side of the Big Island this is definitely something that you must not miss! Go Saturday morning for the best selection and most vendors.

Got a great shirt, super nice lady! produce vendors didnt make eye contact or speak to us? The one who finally did sell us things was on the phone the whole time? Delicious food, just odd...

All the produce you can think of and tons that you never knew existed. Prices are so much better than the grocery store. Flowers, produce, clothing, jewelry, and great food. Big days are Wednesday and Saturday.

After the sky high prices for bad frozen food at Volcano, the Hilo Farmers market was a welcome refreshment. This place came highly recommended to me by a chef friend. Super local, the small stands are crowded with a variety of seasonal fruits, veggies, and home cooked meals. Would definitely recommend for a good inexpensive meal, groceries, and a taste of local life.

Great local food, clothing and crafts a must do if you come to Hilo!

A nice quaint market with yummy fruits.

Went on Wednesday. Decent selection of shops. Bought some fruit (longans, coconut, rambutansk and was a little down at the quality. Had BBQ on a skewer which was great and some Thai food that was also good. Overall, worth checking out if convenient. Personally, would not go out of my way to check it out.

Tons of local Hawaiian fruits and vegetables. And some nicer arts & crafts. Better than the average touristy stuff.

Fresh produce market location moved across the street of former location.

Great selection of fruits and veggies and beautiful bouquets of flowers !

It’s the cheapest place to buy local fresh Hawaiian fruits in the big island.The farmers are very kind and they didn’t push us to buy their products.I bought 3 big papayas for $2

Able to enjoy local agricultural foods.

Very small with lots of unique local handcrafted souvenirs.

Fruit in the farmers market is not fresh or juicy. I bought oranges and rambutan. They are both very dry and tasteless. The ones we bought in other farmers market, Foodland and whole food market is way much better quality than those. There are a few souvenir shop in the market, but the qualities are not so good.

The Smell was great all the different fruits

Great place to get fruit and veggies for a damn good price. I got some tropical fruits that can cost an arm and leg on the mainland. I was kinda bummed, i expected more stalls.Parking can be a challenge, we got lucky as find street parking right in front if the market.

The farmers market is made up of lovely people who work very hard to bring fresh produce to you at an affordable price. The food is very tasty and fresh.I go here for all my fruit and veggies.WASH YOUR FOOD. There are slugs on this island that carry disease.This review loses a star because sometimes I see sellers cover their produce in tarps overnight and it grosses me out when the overripe stuff attracts flies.

Great selection of fruits and local veggies

One of my favorite things to do every Saturday morning. Friendly people and vendors. Interesting finds and reasonably priced items and food.
