KCC Farmers Market

Last weekend, before going to Ala Moana, we got up early and went to the KCC Farmers Market. We usually end up going a couple of times during the year. We like to browse through the various produce vendors and checking out the prepared foods.

As usual, it was pretty busy...


Lots of traffic in front of the booths...


This was pretty popular...a tomato mozarella pizza (North Shore Farms)...with, not sure, might be pesto? under the tomato/mozarella...they were cooking it on a grill...saw a lot of people walking around eating this...will definitely try this next time...


Lots of tomatoes from North Shore Farms...




Taro Delights...features a variety of taro based products including spreads and wraps, salmon and taro lau lau...tried a couple of the dips...very different but pretty yummy...


Xotic Eats...features tofushi (sushi made from tofu) and bentos...the owner was pretty nice...she jokingly told me she charged for pictures...






The Ba-Le Bakery tent was pretty busy...they had great samples...


The North Shore Cattle Company feature hormone free beef...cuts of beef and cooked hamburgers, sausage, etc.


My wife had the andouille sausage...


Don't remember who this is...some farm from Kahuku...they were featuring samples of different colored grape tomatoes in front...


Besides buying some produce, we ended up purchasing -
...some taro poke...chunks of taro w/poke style seasoning...kind of like making poke but without the fish and substituting taro. Green onion, sesame oil, red pepper, salt, limu/ogo (seaweed)... Tastes pretty good and it's supposed to be healthy because of the taro. We couldn't figure if it should be eaten by itself like poke or was it to be eaten with chips/crackers? as the booth had given chips to scoop samples on...


Also, got some dressing from Nalo Farms. This is the Creamy Honey Herb...I was shocked to find out that it had very low sodium (50 mg/serving) and very low cholesterol. I've been trying to eat salads on a daily basis so this goes great with the spring greens I got from the wholesale club...


Last of all, my wife thought that I should have a healthy snack so she bought me a package of Nori Brown Rice Crackers from Ba-Le.



I plan on going back and trying the other things that I couldn't get to...stay tuned... :)
