During my stay in Hawaii, I have visited many farmers’ markets and interviewed individuals with very interesting products and services. Of course many are food products. My focus has been on finding farmers producing food organically with sustainable farming methods. I have also come across many interesting non-food vendors and listed them with their products and services here in this article.
What I have found is that there are many small family businesses here that have a common interest in organic, sustainable products, and they are passionate about quality and serving their customers’ interests while respecting the environment. While many folks running businesses here are not originally from Hawaii, newcomers quickly learn these traditions from Hawaiian families. This respect for the land and environment has been practiced by native Hawaiians for hundreds of years.
