Waimea Town Market at Parker School — Attraction in Hawaii

This was the first farmers market we went to and it was near our accommodations in waikoloa village. It turned out the be one of the best as compared with Kona and Hilo too. I estimate there were 30-40 stalls. A great mixture of art, health, agriculture products but it also had about half a dozen food stands that really complemented the market.

We also grab some Lava Bites as we leave the market as our dessert. Fluffy dough bites that makes me wonder about the taste of a beignet (french-style doughnut). Must try! They offer a choice of drizzles: honey butter, Nutella and lilikoi butter to name a few. Priced reasonably. There is a vendor specializing in Raclette cheese topped dishes.There is more to the market than just food, and there are other varieties of food to choose from, but these are...
