ENJOY BEAUTIFUL SCENERY
AND FRESH FINDS FROM THE MARKET
Farmers Markets and Forest Picnics
Saturday mornings are a great day to visit Waimea town and take a scenic drive along the Hamakua Coast. The markets throughout town offer an amazing variety of locally grown and raised products and a peak into the creative community that lives on the island. Be sure to try some local goat cheese, breads and local honey, coffee, unique fruit varieties and locally-made treats! From Waimea, continue your country drive along the Hamakua Coast. This rugged coastline was once home to the booming sugar industry, and now, home to cattle ranches and homestead farms. If you still have some treats left from the farmers market a great picnic location is Kalopa State Park. Take a right off of highway 19 just outside of Honoka’a. Enjoy a meandering drive up the slopes of Mauna Kea to the quiet and tucked away forest at Kalopa State Park. The park is home to an arboretum, many great walking trails and lots of beautiful park space or tables to enjoy your picnic.
We recommend contacting organisations directly to get the most up to date information about their operations.
