Fruits of Labor in Kauai

The Green Table Project The fruits of this island are so vast I am merely showing about 1% of what this island has. There are apple bananas (banana's that taste like apples), mountain apples ( they look like a red delicious pear and apple had a baby together), soursap (my west indian folks know what this is), rasputins (the prickly red fruit sweet and delicious eat around the seed), tamarinds, tangerines so sweet you want to slap the farmer..... The farmers market on Kauai is every wednesday from 3pm until everything is sold. I got to the market around 3:15pm and the lot was so packed I couldn't even see where the entrance was. The market is in a parking lot and everyone in town come, meet, talk, and exchange their goods. Too all my foodies it's the Union Square market times 2 the prices are awesome and the wide variety of farmers selling different product is incredible. It has a very local, community vibe, and the energy is positive as the sun burn down on us on the hot asphalt. Here's the idea travel the world exploring all the different farmer's markets meet the people and prepare a plate worth writing your friends back home about. This is my mission and the green table project is committed to you enjoying my journeys as much as I am enjoying them. Stay tuned for next week's market adventures.... Ciao for now guys.
