KCC Farmers Market

The KCC Farmers Market is held every Saturday from 7:30 to 11 a.m. at Kapiʻolani Community College, 4303 Diamond Head Road, in Parking Lot C, according to the Hawaiʻi Farm Bureau, which runs it. Local farmers and food makers sell fruit, vegetables, flowers, meat and seafood, baked goods, honey and coffee, and restaurants cook plates to eat on the spot. TheBus routes 3, 22 and 58 serve the campus.

When and Where

• Day and time: Saturdays, 7:30 to 11 a.m. The college sends shoppers to the Hawaiʻi Farm Bureau at hfbf.org for current days and times.
• Place: Kapiʻolani Community College, 4303 Diamond Head Road, Parking Lot C.
• Bus: TheBus routes 3, 22 and 58, per the college.
• Run by: the Hawaiʻi Farm Bureau Federation, which also lists rotating vendors who come on certain Saturdays of the month.

What You Will Find

The college describes it as a true farmers market where the growers and food makers sell their own products: locally grown fruit, vegetables and plants, flowers, beef, aquacultured seafood, baked goods, hand-made pasta, local honey and Hawaiʻi-grown coffee. Several restaurants cook plates each week, and there is live entertainment. The college's advice: come early.

Pairing It With Diamond Head

The market and the crater entrance are both on Diamond Head Road. One plan: book an early Saturday hiking slot at Diamond Head, then go to the market before it closes at 11 a.m. Keep in mind:

• A Diamond Head parking reservation sets an exit time, and you must drive out by then.
• The market is not part of the state monument and has nothing to do with the Diamond Head reservation.
• The park can sell out, so book as soon as your date opens, up to 30 days ahead. See reservations.
