There are 3 major markets in Kihei - Star Mkt, Foodland, & Safeway. There are Farmer's Markets in many locations over the island...you just need to seek them out and determine the best for yourself. I prefer the Farmers Mkt in Kahului where Long's is. From Wailea to there it's only about a 20 - 30 minute drive. Have fun!

Never heard of Food Lion. If you mean Foodland, their selection is much smaller and the prices are generally higher than Safeway. I only shop there for convenience, as in on my way home, or for sale items. Economies of scale: Safeway is a huge company with a lot of resources. I have never found the meats at Foodland or Star Market to be as fresh as Safeway. If you want local beef, you can find that at Long's Drugs.

The Safeway is very large and wel stocked with local items like ahi poke and native fish. I like Star Market because of its smaller size and variety of local and general products.
When I shop at Star It feels more "Hawaiian".

Make sure you take a moment to get a discount card - really adds up. Although I am a fan of WholeFoods I have been blown away by the fantastic seclection of meat and fish at Safeway. Farmers markets are always fun! Look up the dates
