Aloha! To our community and visitors from afar !
Gail and Greg Smith helped form Ho’oulu Community Farmers and Artisans Market with our Founder Kumu Keala Ching. The market is now in its 14th year!
Since then, Gail & Greg began their Earth Matters Farm and grow 100% Hawai’i island grown hemp and produce.

Where to find us
The Big Island Ho'oulu Market is located in the beautiful Keauhou Bay of Kailua-Kona. Our market sets up each Wednesday and Friday (9am-2pm) on the front lawn of OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa.
Come visit our farmers and artisans market to support your local kaiāulu ("community" in Hawaiian).
Open every Wednesday & Friday from 9 am to 2 pm.
Our Mission
By supporting and purchasing from one of our 'Ohana Vendors at The Big Island Ho'oulu Market, you support local farmers, artisans, craftsmen, creators, and families. Your dollars help to perpetuate a vital part of our island's economy.
By shopping locally every Wednesday and Friday at our farmers market in Keauhou Bay, you can reduce the amount of importing and give gifts from the island.
We are very proud to be 100% Big Island made and grown.
- Founder, Kumu Keala Ching
Our Community
In Hawaiian, Ho'oulu means "to grow", and we are honored to be one of the longest-standing Wednesday and Friday Farmers Market in Kailua-Kona.
The Big Island Market features 100% Big Island made, grown and created products. Fruits, Kona Coffee, art, value added products, handmade crafts, music, and more!
We like to call ourselves "The Gallery on the Green"
Tradition
We have a tradition at our market to open and close the markets with the blowing of the conch shell or the Pū. Hawaiians used the Pū to communicate and mark beginnings. The Pū is always blown during the day to invoke goodness. With respect we continue this tradition and now David from Punakai will be sounding the Pū. Please join us at the start (9am) and the end (2pm) of each market to hear the sounding of the Pū!
