Upcountry Farmer's Market — Attraction in Maui

The upcountry farmers market has a variety of fresh local produce, local products, and local food. I love driving upcountry to Kula on Saturday mornings to buy all my favorite goodies. My first stop is always the Maui Cones booth because it tends to get very busy, because it's that good, and is everyone else's favorite as well. My two must haves favorites are the mochiko cone and ahi poke bowl. Next stop, empanadas. Mmmm so fresh, and many different flavors to choose from. They also have a selection of various sauces to choose from. Next stop, on the corner of the next aisle, is a very friendly man with glasses (I really should ask him for his name). He has homemade watermelon juice, assorted fresh pastries, bread, and much more goodies. My niece loves his homemade pop tarts made with his fresh homemade strawberry jam and my husband likes his foccacia pizza. As for me, my favorite from his booth is his homemade maple bacon, furikake twists. Furikake is a Japanese seasoning that consists of bits of toasted nori (seaweed) and sesame seeds, it's slightly salty, giving this pastry that perfect sweet and salty ratio that compliments each other perfectly. All the food vendors are very scrumptious and there is so much to choose from. (Korean cuisine, vegan miso ramen, Thai cuisine, organic food, acai bowls, vegan desserts, fresh coconut drinks, fresh organic juices, fresh kombocha juice, the list goes on and on.) Many other vendors sell a variety of items including fresh produce, fish, alpaca fur products, hand-made jewelries, flowers, etc.

My last stop is at the flower lady's booth. (I really should ask her for her name too.) She has an assortment of beautiful flower arrangements and hakus (flower headbands). I always buy a bouquet of flowers to give to someone special to show them how much I appreciate them. 💕 (Usually for my sister because I know how much she loves...

This is a great place to pickup some fresh produce there a re a lot of different choices and all are grown upcountry. So your getting some of the freshest produce around, it's also great for baked goods, I personally get my dog treats from here and eggs. There are also many food booths to choose from. One of my favorites is the mochico cone. The coffee is also excellent you have small batch locally sourced and grown. Then there are the crafts booths and don't let me forget the people who are selling plants everything from all decorative indoor plants to outside landscaping plants. Let's just say if you come here and you can't find anything you didn't look very hard. The one downside is the parking is a mess because people drive and park like idiots. So of you can see past that it's a fun event. They have even added musician playing while the market is going. Most vendors are there consistently but sometimes certain vendors are not there every week. So if you see something you like don't hesitate to grab it because you might have to wait several weeks before your able to purchase there wares. Overall it's a fun Saturday morning event....
