Donna the Lettuce Lady
|
Donna the Lettuce Lady grows her multiple varieties of lettuce using aquaponics. Aquaponics combines fish farming (aquaculture) with the practice of raising plants in water (hydroponics). Instead of using chemical fertilizers, plants are fertilized by the fish poo. Since the plants don't need dirt, aquaponics allows gardeners to produce more food in less space.
Donna's lettuce is so beautiful, you can use it as a centerpiece on your dining table! |
Drean
|
Drean Barley is the founder for the Hakalau Farmers Market and FoodShare. He's a great source for a variety of sprouts, kohlrabi, fennel, various hot peppers and fermented vegetables, all grown on his farm in Ninole. Of course, what's available each week depends on what's in season.

Hakalau Fruit and Farm
|
Deb and Rick Scrivens took over unofficial management of our market three years ago, and ran it, soup to nuts, for about two years, until we were kicked out of Hakalau Veterans Park. Deb then worked tirelessly to transform our market in a legal entity that could contract with a venue for a legal place to be. Deb is one of a handful of folks who kept the market alive in those days, and she continues to help in many ways. She and Rick also run a productive farm in Hakalau, and she finally has time to vend.

Tiffany, the Chinese Lady
|
Tiffany's farm borders Hakalau Veterans Park on the north, and she can walk her produce to our original vending spot. Tiffany was the first vendor to join Drean at the Park, years ago. They kept each other company for a year or so before the market slowly began to take off. Tiffany vended faithfully since then, until we were evicted from the Park. Many shoppers remember her vegetables, fruit, and her sweep potato chips. She never attended our Exile in Style on Chin Chuck, but on December 5, 2017, she dropped by to check out our current venue, and the next week she resumed vending. Welcome back Tiffany!
