Kona Farmers' Market, Again

Kona Farmer's Market in Kailua Kona is open Wednesdays through Sundays, 7am to 4pm. If you're in the area, it's basically unmissable. It's not very big, but it's a great alternative to the prices at the supermarket. On weekends, the stands expand a bit more, and you can even buy freshly-baked bread.

A lot of the fruit is startlingly cheap, and you often have to haggle for a smaller quantity than they offer you.

Bitter melons were being sold, but so were the leaves.

There is a crafts section, such as these shell chimes...

...and handmade leis.
