The Hawaiian Islands have seen a huge boost of farmers markets in the last five years, as locals work towards a sustainable future. And Kauai is home to a high number of them.

On an island that imports over 85% of its food and goods, it's important to buy and eat local. Thankfully, local handmade crafts and locally grown produce can be found island-wide at the various Sunshine Farmers Markets. These events take place every day of the week.
