Mākeke - farmers' and green market
new! mĀkeke nĀnĀkuli is now open!
Although one chapter has ended, a new one has begun. Mākeke Nānākuli opened on Thursday, August 8, 2019, located at the grounds of the beautiful Nānākuli Public Library. The mākeke continues the tradition by offering fresh local produce; poi, kulolo, and haupia; fresh baked bread, 'ono prepared food; crafts; and native Hawaiian plants. Please come and support local farmers, cooks, artists, and our community! Mālama Learning Center will join the Mākeke to teach occasional workshops so we look forward to seeing you then and there!
Mākeke Kapolei has closed permanently as of May 16, 2019.
We regret that Mākeke Kapolei has closed on May 16, 2019 after seven and a half wonderful years of operation at Kapolei High School. Wai'anae Coast Comprehensive Health Center is actively seeking a new site for the market in Leeward O'ahu.
Mahalo nui loa to the market's dedicated vendors and customers!
