Imagine a warm, breezy weekend morning on the beautiful island of Oahu. Fifty colorful tents line the promenade. Droves of Hawaii residents of all ages and backgrounds meander from vendor to vendor, choosing the freshest produce and tastiest food products that Hawai‘i has to offer. Local music serenades families as they brunch in the shade of the open café. Kids savor natural shave ice or popsicles and race from vendor to vendor trying to complete the tropical fruit and vegetable scavenger hunt. Elderly local residents visit with vendors whom they have come to warmly know by name. Over 40 vendors offer a wide variety of the freshest local produce, hand-crafted Hawaii-made merchandise, and delicious treats & eats.

Hale‘iwa and Makeke O Maunalua Farmers’ Markets are Green Inspired, and invite everyone to buy locally, BYOSB (bring your own shopping bag) and help us reach our goal of being Oahu’s first completely green markets – solar-powered, Zero-Waste, and with many educational demos. Food vendors use only bio-compostable plates and utensils, made from sugar and corn. Eating locally greatly reduces the carbon footprint of our food, producing positive affects throughout the global community.

Festivals celebrate seasonal crops, Hawaiian traditions, and holidays. Every week, locals and visitors alike gather to share their love for the ‘Aina, while meeting local growers, hanging out in the Talk Story Café, and watching the kids make arts & crafts in Keiki Korner. We are pleased to be located in Hale‘iwa on Oahu’s North Shore and in Hawai‘i Kai on Oahu’s South Shore.

The market provides a venue for a number of charitable organizations- to raise funds, provide invaluable services, and share a vital message with the community. Makeke O Maunalua

It is the vision of the Hale‘iwa and Makeke O Maunalua Farmers’ Markets to create a business incubator for small farmers, food manufacturers and artisans, by creating a supportive and nurturing environment, which will cultivate and be the example of economic and green growth, community health, and cultural awareness.
