Farmer's Market(s) in Hilo
 
Besides the big market on Wednesday and Saturday is there another smaller one daily? Also one across from Rainbow Falls on Mondays? We'll be in Hilo on Memorial Day. I wonder if most things will be open?

Thank you, GloriaE! Would like to take some fruit and goat's cheese - and whatever else looks good - with us to our cottage in Volcano.

The Maku'u market is such a fun place - very eclectic. Lots of local produce and crafts. It's an experience.

Have you checked the Kona Web? (www.konaweb.com) There is plenty of good information about the Big Island there. Have a wonderful time! I love the Big Island.
