Waialua Farmers Market is country in the country

NORTH SHORE—On any given Saturday at the Waialua Farmers Market, visitors can find a wide array of local vegetables, crafts, ready to eat food, flowers, and other specialty items such as honey and coconut peanut butter. Located in the Waialua Sugar Mill, the market is open every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Edith Ramiscal, president of the Waialua Farmers’ Cooperative, said that her goal is to expand the farmers’ market to more of a community market and to bring more business to Waialua. The market is smaller than others, but provides lots of free parking, a relaxed local atmosphere, and a weekend social scene.
