Whether you're a local looking for groceries for a week or a tourist in need of a supremely ripe pineapple, Hawaii farmers markets are a great find. If you're a visitor be warned: farmers markets in Hawaii have a start time and people tend to line up for them. At the drop of a rope or opening of a gate they hurry - even run - to the most sought-after items. It makes them the most entertaining farmers markets I've ever been to!
