The great thing about visiting the Big Island is the amazingly fresh, locally grown fruits and veggies. If you visit the farmers market you will find locally grown corn, papaya, apple banana, mango, oranges and so much more! There is also locally grown flowers and handmade crafts. The farmers market is located on Alii Drive (in Kona town). Kona Farmers Market http://konafarmersmarket.com/
If you're lucky you will find a roadside vendor selling lychee, pickled mango, smoked fish and many other local treats. You should stop and try it!
