My daughter lives in Hilo. She's been there for two years now. We came to visit her and the family back in April and we fell in love with Hawaii. We are now planning to move there hopefully in the next 2 or 3 years. Loved your video. My daughter took me to that farmers market and I was amazed, loved it.

That star apple looks so good. Yay I have one growing in my backyard

Your beautiful and I miss Hilo. Lived there for many years. Seeing the "market" again made my day. Thanks🙌

Very informative. We visit the Hilo farm market 10 years ago, absolutely love it!

missing Hilo and the Big Island so much!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Can't wait to taste these fruits, thank you! We will be there in 5 weeks.

Great selection of fruits.

you are the first hawaii video person I have seen that wasnt SUPER cheesy and annoying . thanks.

Great market and of course had to get one of those moo moos and the soaps are great 👍🏻🌺

I’m going to Hilo next weekend, I’ve heard so many great things about the farmers market there I can’t wait to check it out! I’m so excited to try all the fruits!

Great video...This made me feel so nostalgic for Hawaii

this is a really great market :) maybe it's time to come back

We are coming there in April!! Can't wait...Thanks girl! Great Job!!

I was in Hilo for 2 months in 2015 and want to come back! Love Hilo...great video!

There were many kinds of fruits, such as a great market 😍💕👍

Thanks for the post. Visiting in two weeks and the Market is on our list of to do!

We watched this video a year ago, so thankful for learning all the fruits we never heard of, yet had seen as we are Hawaii frequent visitors. Thank you for the information, we tried 3 new fruits due to watching this 4 times, and now are hooked on a few, and are promoting these to our Canadian friends :) I have found one here in Victoria BC! so happy, yet it didnt taste the same... Again, thank you for this so informative video, we would appreciate another to include more fruits and veggies :) We are there yearly and love cooking.

The tropical fruit you love I love too and it's available in Florida where I live. And you're still so inspirational and glowing. ..this life is wonderful.

Going to be going to Hilo in Oct! Your video was super helpful...

I just got accepted into UofH at Hilo and I’ve been trying to do research on what life is like in Hilo and this farmers market looks incredible

This is a great video ! ! I just visited Hilo in August.That place really is Paradise ! !

Aloha! I was surprised to see your video tonight! That is me selling jams! Awww…. How fun.

I am so jealous, it's so beautiful there and it's still snowing here! I would love to ditch the cold and move to Hilo.

My husband and I are going to the big island in September! We will be staying in Kohala and using that as a jumping off point to explore the whole island for two weeks! We are so excited. The Hilo farmers market is definitely on our "must do" list so I appreciate any tips and we would love to meet up with you too! My husband watches your channel too and we love you energy and the knowledge you share. Thank you for being on KZread!

I appreciate this video so much. The Farmers Market is on our list this 3rd trip we are making to Big Island in late August.

Such a fun place!

I’m coming to Hilo next week! Can’t wait to hit up the market for some fresh food!!

Those look georgeous

My husband and I visited Kona and Hilo last July and we went to the Hilo farmers market! We had a night of eating raw with all of our fruit finds! We tried the mamey sapota, sapodillo, and sour sop for the first time! Plus we had some awesome mangos!

Going to stay in Hilo a few nights during my honeymoon! I definitely want to check out the farmer’s market!

Love Hilo's market.

Ahhh this brought back memories! I worked on a couple of raw food retreats on the big island and we'd always make trips to the Hilo market 😊. Thoughts of moving to Hawaii run rampant in my mind lately as we are still in the thick of our snowy cold winter here in northern Michigan 😜❄️. I actually enjoy a lot of aspects of it, however, a migratory lifestyle sounds really right to me..future goals 😊🍍. Your videos are great Megan. Thanks for the Market tour!...this video gave me my Hawaii fix for the day 😉.

Hello Megan. Thank you for this great video. I''ll be in Hilo the 3rd week of October (2017). I'm staying in an AirBnB that has a full kitchen so I'll be shopping the farmers market. I'm looking forward to trying some of the fruits you showed. Yum!

Headed over there this weekend. Maybe I’ll see you! 😊 Great video, thank you.

Coming To Hilo! Feb28 2020! Cant wait !

I went to the Hilo Market when I was on the Big Island several years ago. The best thing I got was haupia with a lilikoi topping. It was also the first time I tried longans. Mamey is one of my favourite fruits - they grow in Florida and occasionally show up on shelves here in South Carolina.

Aloha Megan!!! A group of 10 of my closest friends and family and I are heading to Kona this Friday for 9 days. Will most likely head to Hilo at some point early on our trip to visit the Farmer's Market. Your video was Excellent and VERY informative! Love me some Hawaii! See you soon!, Aloha!

So awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing! We are coming in June for vacation and to check out the areas of the islands to make sure it's where we want to live and then moving in August/September. Maybe we'll run into you when shopping at the market, and definitely we'll have to support your favorite stand!!! The Nonnenmachers

Great info! Thank you.

Seeing you in the farmer's market totally took me back to your 'Reiki Me' video, so of course I had to go watch it! Still love that video 😃🍌🥑🍍🌺

We are from Oregon and we were at the Hilo Farmers Market last Wednesday. Your video was very helpful, and we bought most of the fruits you featured. Had them for lunch picnics. The hotel also gave us some fruit. Delicious. The Volcano Farmers Market (Sunday only) was wonderful too.

We're staying just North of Hilo, and will totally visit this market!

I will be coming out that way in March 2019 and the fruit looks so good ! we live in North Carolina and have never been to the Islands , have a wonderful time and day !

I'll be going to UH hilo next semester. I'm from Nebraska and go to school in South Dakota. Thanks so much for this video! I'll definitely check this out while I'm there.

Fruit heaven 👌🏼

thanks for the great video! id like to see more of hilo's beaches! especially the black sands beach thats somewhere on the big island... enjoyed your tour of the farm'er market and all that fruit! ive honestly never heard of most of that fruit, i was expecting pineapples and coconuts, lol.

Hi Megan! We are visiting Kona and Hilo beginning on July 19-Aug. 2! I really enjoyed your video. We love to go to Farm Markets in our home state of Michigan, and are really looking forward to the Big Island Farm Markets.

Heading to Hilo this Saturday, Love the Hilo Farmers Market. We stay at The Pakalana Inn, tight near the market.

Going to Hilo for the first time with friends in August! Looking to try new fruits that we haven't tried before!

moving to kalapana t be with my Ohana (family) this year. The video left me feeling very happy and content knowing all the fruit I can eat on the cheap. looking into farming myself as a family unit. big change from the Midwest winters

That jack looked good!

People who may not know about this "Farmers Market" was created by the Filipino people from the Philippines back when they use to work with the Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Hawaiian people worked for Sugar cane Company's in Hilo and it was alot of work during those days too.

Lol i literally just posted a comment saying we need a new video here and you upload one 💕🌺💝 oh the timing 💙

We are going to be in hilo in april 2018. I plan on doing some vloging and podcasting while there, and this market is on my list. Thanks for the great vid.

Most definitely will visit the Farmers Market as we plan to move to the big Island/Hilo in a couple months if all goes well.

Love this video! Great job yo!

Hi Megan... loved your video of the famers market and we'll definitely stop by to pick up some delicious fruits! We'll be vacationing on the Hilo side for two weeks and can't wait! As a local... I would love to hear your recommendations for the best eats in the Hilo area as well. Thanks!!

Coming in June and to the market very soon!!!

Hello Megan, I just came across this video, im from Orchidland, but im living in san diego at the moment, thank you for sharing the video, reminds me of home................:)

i love this market, fruit haven

Will be in Hilo this December going on a cruise . My cousin lives there and this is where I told her I wanted to go

I am heading to Hilo in a few weeks and we are definitely going to go to the farmers market, in fact the people we are staying with just told me her sister owns the farmers market, so that's kind of cool. It would be fun if we ran into you there!

Going to be out there in a couple of weeks... Now I really want a pile of crazy fruit!

Omg did I spot guanabana? Those are SO good!! And cherimoya are my favorite fruit in the world :) especially the ones I had in Cuba, they are extremely creamy.., so good

I really enjoyed this video! I would like to see more sites of Hawaii! I live in Europe and will probably never go there and your life is like a very private look into living there! I think you are used to it now but for many people it's the only chance to see it even if it's just simple things like your favourite beaches or hiking places and farmers markets....Sending lots of love :)

We are medical professionals that are moving to hilo next month. We are so excited. We can totally meet up, we love farmers markets. Mario my fiance is from El Salvador and misses farmers markets like this.

Aloha! Great video! Were heading to Hilo Saturday and will be checking out the market on Sunday! We live on Maui so we will only be on island for 3 days and used some southwest points for our travel meaning we have to stay the rest of our time in kona but so excited!! Would love some info if u have any! Or even to meet up if your also going sunday! Mahalo!

I have been looking for star apples ever since i came to the US which has been 13 years. I used to eat star apples every day in Vietnam, i'm finally going to be in Hawaii in 3 weeks so i can't wait to eat star apples everyday and bring like 20lbs back lol

Looks like a great market. This video had a great feel. The star apple looks similar to a persimmon on the inside.

My Dad was born in Hilo,and when I was 12,the whole family went-- sweet, charming, and lovely, Hilo is. It's June 22, 2018 --I hope PELE bypasses Hilo Aloha

I enjoy the farmers markets all over the Island. I enjoy the locals and the way they interact with one another. It is the tourists and the wealthy hoales who own the mega homes in the best areas that really makes Hawaii a lesser place. I totally get why the locals don't care for them.

Thank you. Heading there in 2 weeks. Starting on the Hilo side than going to Kona.... Any other ideas????

I will be visiting :)

We are going to Hawaii around May 21 and are staying for about 3 weeks.

Thanks for your video I really enjoyed it What days are the farmers market available? Thanks

Do you like Hilo more than anywhere else on the Big Island? I'm moving to Hawaii in 4 months and trying to decide between Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai! Loved the tour of the market!

I just got back from here, a week ago. I had virtually every single fruit you mentioned. My family and I need to move due to medical necessity, my wife is 32 and is falling apart from Dystonia. It's so incredibly difficult to move, but it's required. My doctor is from Hilo, and he is the man who is pushing hard for us to move-move-move. I would do anything to live there and save my family, but it's going to be a hard transition. We are Kratom and CBD vendors and I hope to finalize my degrees in Hilo and help the community. Beautiful video.
