What Are the Best Farmers Markets on Maui?
If you want a real taste of Maui, not just the resorts, beaches, or restaurants, but the heart of the island; head to a farmers' market. These open-air gatherings bring together local growers, small-batch food makers, artists, and long-time residents who are passionate about sharing the best of Maui’s land and culture.
Whether you’re visiting for the first time, returning for the tenth, or you’ve been calling Maui home for years, these markets are where you’ll find some of the island’s best flavors, friendliest vendors, and truly unique treasures.
Below are the top three farmers' markets on Maui - each with its own charm, its own community vibe, and plenty of reasons to add them to your weekly routine or your next vacation itinerary
1.) Kula Farmers Market
When: Saturdays, 7:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Where: Kula Malu Town Center
Address: 55 Kiopaa Street, Highway 37, Kula HI 97678
The Kula Farmers Market is one of those places you hear about long before you ever set foot on Maui. It’s a beloved Upcountry tradition, the kind of Saturday morning gathering where you linger, wander, taste new things, and always leave with more than you planned.
Because of Kula’s cooler climate and rich volcanic soil, you’ll find produce here that you won’t see anywhere else on the island - colorful heirloom tomatoes, crisp greens, massive heads of broccoli, strawberries, fresh herbs, and all kinds of seasonal specialties.
Why people love it:
- A huge selection of fresh Upcountry produce
- Dozens of long-time local vendors
- Homemade baked goods, hot food, spices, and local honey
- A relaxed, community-centered vibe
- Some of the best prices you’ll find on the island
If you want a real ‘live like a local’ experience, Kula is the place to start. Bring a tote bag, arrive early, and enjoy the morning as the sun rises over Haleakala
2.) Wailea Farmers Market (South Maui)
When: Tuesdays, 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Where: Wailea Village Shopping Center
Address: 100 Wailea Ike Drive, Wailea HI 96753
Wailea Farmers Market is the the farmers market you'll want to add to your schedule if you’re staying in South Maui - Wailea, Kihei, or Makena. The market blends a stylish South Maui setting with some of the freshest, highest-quality local foods you’ll find anywhere.
It’s smaller than some markets on the island, but that’s part of the charm. Every vendor here is curated. You’ll see beautiful tropical fruits, artisan pastries, gourmet nut butters, plant-based treats, local coffee, Maui-made skincare, and grab-and-go options perfect for a beach day.
Why people love it:
- A beautifully organized, boutique-style market
- High-quality local food and artisan products
- Easy walking distance from many Wailea resorts
- Perfect quick stop before heading to the beach
It’s clean, convenient, and wonderfully relaxed, and is the ideal market if you want that ‘South Maui ease’ with genuinely local offerings
