Six farmers markets and farm stands stretch along the Kona Coast from Kailua-Kona to Captain Cook, 19 miles south. At least one is open every day of the week.
For fresh produce, the Keauhou Farmers Market on Saturdays is the best option: 100% Big Island grown, with local fruit, vegetables, fish, eggs, and macadamia nuts. Arrive before 10 AM. The Pure Kona Green Market in Captain Cook applies the same all-local rule on Sundays, with around 80 vendors at Amy Greenwell Botanical Gardens.
The Kona Village Farmers Market on Aliʻi Drive is the largest and most convenient but leans heavily toward crafts and souvenirs. Good for browsing; less useful if you’re stocking a kitchen. Most vendors at all six markets prefer cash, so bring small bills.

Q: Which Kona farmers market is best for fresh produce?
The Keauhou Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. Everything sold is 100% Big Island grown, and the produce selection is the strongest of any Kona-area market. Arrive before 10 AM for the best picks.
Q: Is there a farmers market in Kona every day?
Yes. Between the six markets and farm stands listed on this page, at least one is open every day of the week. See the schedule table for the full breakdown by day.
Q: Do Kona farmers markets take credit cards?
Some vendors do, but most are cash-preferred or cash-only. Bring small bills. The Keauhou Shopping Center has an ATM nearby if you need one.
Kona Village Farmers Market
The largest market in the Kona area, set up on Aliʻi Drive a one-minute walk from the ocean. Heavy on arts, crafts, and souvenirs with some fresh produce, flowers, and Kona coffee mixed in. This is more of a shopping market than a produce market. If you’re looking to stock up on fruit or vegetables, the Keauhou market or Pure Kona Green Market will serve you better.

- Location: 75-5767 Aliʻi Drive, Kailua-Kona (at the intersection of Hualalai Rd. and Aliʻi Dr.)
- Market days: Wednesday through Sunday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Parking: Paid Street parking at nearby lots. Can fill up on busy days.

Keauhou Farmers Market
The best market in the Kona area for actual produce. Run by the Kona County Farm Bureau, everything sold here is 100% Big Island grown and made. Expect locally raised fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, meat and eggs, Kona coffee, macadamia nuts, honey, handmade bread and jams, and flowers. Live music most Saturdays. The market sets up in the parking lot in front of Ace Hardware at the Keauhou Shopping Center, about 6 miles south of downtown Kona on Aliʻi Drive.
Arrive early. Popular items sell out by 10 AM, and the crowd thins well before the noon close.

Hoʻoulu Community Farmers Market
Hoʻoulu (Hawaiian for “to grow”) has been running for over a decade on the front lawn of the Outrigger Kona resort at Keauhou Bay and is a 100% Big Island market with 20 to 40 vendors. Expect more locally made arts, crafts, and prepared food than raw produce. The market opens and closes with the blowing of a conch shell.
Good free parking at the resort. The oceanfront setting is a plus.
- Location: Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa, 78-128 Ehukai Street, Kailua-Kona (Keauhou Bay)
- Market days: Wednesday and Friday, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
- Parking: Free parking at the resort
- Website: Hoʻoulu Community Farmers Market
Pure Kona Green Market
An all-local market at the Amy Greenwell Botanical Gardens in Captain Cook, across the highway from the historic Manago Hotel. The market’s rule is simple: every vendor grows or makes what they sell. No resellers. About 80 vendors on a good Sunday, making this one of the larger markets on the island despite its South Kona location.
The botanical garden path winds between vendor stalls, which separates it from every other market on the island. You can browse the market in under an hour, then walk the botanical gardens if you have time.

- Location: Amy Greenwell Botanical Gardens, 82-6188 Mamalahoa Hwy (mile marker 110), Captain Cook
- Market day: Sunday, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
- Distance from Kona: About 13 miles south on Hwy. 11
- Website: Pure Kona Green Market
Aliʻi Garden Market Place
More of an open-air marketplace than a farmers market. Mostly locally made and mass-produced arts, crafts, and souvenirs, with a few food vendors for a quick bite. It sits on Aliʻi Drive about 3 miles south of downtown Kona. Worth a stop if you’re walking the strip, but don’t go out of your way for produce.
- Location: 75-6129 Aliʻi Drive, Kailua-Kona
- Market days: Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- More information: Aliʻi Garden Market Place
South Kona Fruit Stand
Not a farmers market but a single roadside fruit stand on Hwy. 11 near Captain Cook. The selection of exotic tropical fruit is excellent: rambutan, starfruit, apple bananas, lilikoi, and whatever else is in season. They also make smoothies, paninis, and baked goods. There’s a small seating area with a partial ocean view out back. Parking in the rear.
Prices run a bit higher than at the farmers markets, but the quality and variety are hard to match. A natural stop if you’re driving south toward Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau or the Kona coffee farms.

- Location: 84-4770 Mamalahoa Hwy, Captain Cook (between mile markers 103 and 104)
- Hours: Monday and Wednesday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Closed Tuesday.
