Farm to Table Oahu

Locally grown produce has never been more popular in Hawaii. Oahu's ideal climate helps to produce a delicious variety of fruits and vegetables, including sweet Kahuku corn, Waimanalo greens as well as juicy mangoes and papayas. With this new trend, you’ll find local farmer’s markets popping up in Oahu neighborhoods like Manoa, Kailua and Mililani. The KCC Farmer’s Market, held every Saturday morning near the entrance of Diamond Head State Monument, is a popular weekly stop for locals.

You can follow the farm to table process so integral to the Hawaii Regional Cuisine by taking a farm tour. Farms throughout the islands supply renowned restaurants and resorts from Waikiki to the North Shore. Taste the freshness in the cuisine of five of the original chefs behind the Hawaii Regional Cuisine movement here on Oahu: Alan Wong (Alan Wong’s Restaurant, Pineapple Room in the Ala Moana Center), Roy Yamaguchi (Roy’s Waikiki, Roy’s Hawaii Kai, locations throughout the islands), George Mavrothalassitis (Chef Mavro), Sam Choy (Sam Choy’s Breakfast, Lunch & Crab) and Phillipe Padovani (Elua).
