The Ho'oulu Community Farmers Market, located on the grounds of the Keauhou Beach Resort/Outrigger Hotel - Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i Island.

Aloha!
As some of you know, I write a monthly feature article about a different farmers market, Farmer and/or CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Farmers on this island for the Hawai'i HomeGrown Food Network site.
There is an official market day on this island every single day of the week except for Mondays and Thursdays!
You can catch up with all Big Island Farmers Markets, Farmers and CSA features I've shared to date by clicking on the following links.
The number after the # symbol is the edition of the HHFN newsletter where the article can be found, but if you click on the live link it takes you directly to the feature or article.
Farmers Markets Features
CSA - Community Supported Agriculture Features
1 #28 - Ohia Fields CSA
2 #29 - Adaptations CSA
3 #30 - Ka 'Ohi Nani CSA
Farmers:
1 #40 - Fox Forest Farm
2 #42 - Coast View Aquaponics (next upcoming feature)

Enjoy! and if you live on the Big Island or if you travel here on vacation, make it a point to visit some of our fabulous farmers markets or contact the nearest CSA farmer near you for weekly fresh produce!

Just one of the more wonderful attributes of Gather.

Thanks for sharing the info with The Triple Name Club.
Sonia M. Jul 13, 2012, 6:51pm UTC
It's quite an annoying attribute....

Thank you, Len!

You can go in to the HTML in the template, but that can be a bit tricky. That is where you see that what we as readers (or the poster) do not see are codes that cause this.

One way that usually works to introduce a paragraph return in software is to make a

hard return


Do:

Press ENTER

and

Press SHIFT

at the same time

and it should show as a return.


in this comment function, the return and the hard return (press Enter plus press Shift) both show as a new carriage return, but if you notice that a press Enter does not work, then try the Hard Return (Press ENTER plus Press SHIFT)

Thanks, Kathryn

I won't try it with this one, but will next time

It's great that you support them, Sonia.

If I were "king" I would make sure that small farmers had the kind of breaks the big agribusiness can count on...

Very nice post!! Farmers Markets are so awesome. We have a nice one in my city but it's only once a week.
Sonia M. Jul 14, 2012, 12:35pm UTC
Thanks, Jennifer...we have almost 30 of them around the island...they are not all or open all week long...its just that there is at least one somewhere open at least any day you pick except for Monday's and Thursdays (so far!)

Someday when i get to Hawaii, I will have to check out the farmers market.
Sonia M. Jul 16, 2012, 3:55pm UTC
As you can see...we have a lot of them from which to choose
