A Saturday Morning at Anaina Hou Farmers Market

Savouring Kaua‘i – local flavors, spirited stories, and market treasures

I love my Saturday adventures to the Anaina Hou Farmers Market in Kīlauea—a true island gem that embodies the spirit of Kaua‘i. Every day of the week, this island offers its own farmers market experience, and this Saturday gathering is no exception.

With over 30 amazing vendors spread across two marketplaces, this event is a vibrant celebration of local agriculture, sustainable food distribution, and the creative heart of our community. It’s a space where kauai-grown produce meets small-batch artisanship—and you feel it in every bite, sip, and smile.
