What are good places with low prices to shop at in Kona, Hawaii for produce?

Question

I know there is a Costco and Walmart there. But at Costco, you need to buy bulk and I'm not sure there is food at the local Walmart. If I wanted produce, where should I go for good prices?

Answer 1

Hi! Try a farmer's market for super fresh and affordable produce:

Kailua Village Farmer's Market: Flowers, produce, macnuts and coffee. Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Across from Hale Halawai, Kailua-Kona.

Keauhou Farmer's Market: Every Saturday, from 8:00AM to noon at Keauhou Shopping Center, fronting Ace Hardware. All products are home grown in Hawaii - fruits, vegetables, flowers, coffee, macadamia nuts & more. Music too!

Kona International Market: Tuesday thru Sunday, from 9am to 5pm, at a large new open-air facility built specially for it near HPM in the Old Industrial Area on Luhia St. Flowers, fruits & vegetables, crafts, clothes, 'ukulele. Many area vendors have relocated here from other farmers markets around town.

South Kona Fruit Stand: Tropical fruits and plants near the old Higashi store, Mon-Sat, 9 am to 6 pm, Sun, "10ish" to 5pm; 84-4770 Mamalahoa Hwy. in Captain Cook. Info: 328-8547.

If you don't like farmer's markets, there's always good old Foodland:
