MEDIA RELEASE
The Saturday, June 19 event will feature fresh produce samples and sales from local farms and ukulele music throughout the historic upcountry town 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
Much like Holualoa’s annual November “Coffee & Art Stroll”, the summer event will showcase local produce at most of the village art galleries and shops along the half mile stretch of Mamalahoa Highway between the Holualoa School and Imin Center.
Only producers and distributors of locally grown products are invited to participate in the day long event. Farmers will be asked to provide fresh samples for the public and will be allowed to sell their wares as well.
Categories being accepted include fruits and vegetables, flowers, herbs, honey, fruit drinks, jam and jelly preserves, meat, poultry, dairy products, fresh bakery goods, seedlings and growing/cooking supplies. The emphasis is on ‘Buyin’ Hawaiian’ produce at the village-wide Farmers’ Market.
Photos of last year’s event and applications for farms/vendors are available at the HVA web site; www.holualoahawaii.com. Forms are also available at the co-sponsoring Holuakoa Gardens & Cafe.
Deadline to reserve a space is Wednesday, June 9. There is a $25 participant donation request for a 10’x10′ space. No arts and crafts vendors will be accepted.
