I was born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii and approximately 41,000 people presently call Hilo their home. It rains almost every day in Hilo making the land and soil fertile, just stick it in the ground and it grows. Fruits, tropical flowers and vegetables are seen almost everywhere you turn. Each weekend farmers markets spring up with vendors selling their home grown products.

I was recently in Hilo and spent some time with family and of course, shopping. My favorite Farmers Market in Hilo is the Hawaii Tropical Fruit Growers market on Kinoole Street. Directions

Here people purchase flowers to adorn their homes, give as gifts or place on their loved ones graves. I purchased a couple dozen anthuriums to place on my parents grave sites and take to several family members that I was visiting.

My most favorite flower is the obake anthurium. Anthuriums are actually green but hybridization has produced color varieties of many forms and shapes. Obake in Japanese means ghost.

The vendors at the farmers market also sell Ti leaf plants, Cymbidium Orchids, Dendrobium Orchids, Proteas, Roses and Birds of Paradise.

Guavas, mangos and avacados are plentiful.

Huge tomatoes

Lychees are just getting into season.

Organically grown papayas

Big Island chips, candy and popcorn

Next time you are in Hawaii, be sure to visit Hilo and check out any one of the many farmers markets. Islanders will welcome you with genuine Hilo hospitality. From this Hilo wahine transplanted in Arizona, ALOHA!
