Sunday's Hale'iwa Farmer's Market

First time to the new Hale'iwa Farmers' Market, and it was great! You'll probably see friends of yours while you shop for local food, check out the Eco-Booths, eat, and enjoy the live music.

I discovered Sea Asparagus aka: halophyte salicornia. It's very tasty, nutritious, and of course ocean-fed-salty.
