KCC Farmers’ Market

This guide to the KCC Farmers' Market in Honolulu opens on the Saturday morning horn that still starts trading at seven thirty, and traces back to September 2003, when food writer Joan Namkoong noticed Hawaii's best produce rarely reached ordinary shoppers. It follows her partnership with farmer Dean Okimoto and culinary instructor Conrad Nonaka to talk a college parking lot into becoming a market. Arrive close to the horn; the stalls filled the fastest in the market's earliest days.
