OK, so I know I'm not alone in the world in enjoying getting up early on a Sunday morning and going to the Farmer's Market. But I'm alone in my own family! I was going to make my usual run to Mililani and pick up our produce for the week (and be back by the time Noel and the boys stirred) but Noel and the boys wanted to come along. So we chose a market destination I've been meaning to check out - the Haleiwa Farmer's Market on the North Shore. And good news for us- this market opens a little later, and stays open until after lunch so we weren't so hurried. I checked out their website on Saturday night and decided to give it a try. Honestly, they had me with the picture of the carrots! I had to go and try to find them. I'd make the drive every Sunday if they had carrots!
Noel warned me it might not be as good as Mililiani in terms of produce vendors, variety, and volume. He didn't want me to be disappointed. It's probably for the best he tried to lower my expectations, but it was still pretty good. I couldn't find those elusive carrots, but I did manage to buy enough that I needed to make a run to the car mid-shopping and unload my heavy bags before continuing. I especially liked these onions with the "tops" still attached. I will say I haven't seen that in Mililani. One vendor mistook me for a tourist. "This is the best pineapple you will ever have!" Oh trust me, I know.
