Kim and I had a fascinating day visiting farmers markets on the Big Island of Hawaii. We were amazed at the number of quality products from local farmers as well as local artists. Below are references to those that we found and others in the area that appear online.
Anyone living here, or visiting, should take some time to stop in at a number of the local farmer’s markets. I have noted below a nonprofit organization committed to bringing local farmers together with folks who want to buy fresh organic produce.

We are Aileen and Joe, official food fanatics from the East Coast who settled in Captain Cook, Hawaii back in 2014. Obsessed with food for as long as we can remember, we couldn’t live without a classic New York style bagel.
We even went so far as to transport bagels from New Jersey to Hawaii in our luggage after visits back East. Being avid home chefs, we decided to make some ourselves and voila! Bagel magic in South Kona.
After many tests and trials and only crumbs leftover from friend and family tastings, we decided to share one of our greatest triumphs in the kitchen. Serving ’em up fresh at farmers’ markets, catering for private events, and wholesale to cafes, look for Yo Bagels and try an Everything!

BIG ISLAND CREAMERY

I am sure it is possible that somewhere, someone, may make tastier ice cream than the ice cream from Big island Creamery, but I sure have never tasted it and I have tasted a lot of ice cream all around the world.
I am sure the love that Markus and Laura have for each other is also the main ingredient in their ice cream recipe. Here is a note from their website:
