Aurora Bunao, helping at Mayette Loseto’s van and tent at Grove Farm Market, preps and bunches Hawaiian garlic on Saturday, Jan. 20, 2024. Loseto said the Kaua‘i-grown garlic doesn’t form the familiar “potatoes,” just the aromatic leaves.

Beekeeper Lee Wilkes shows off the floral arrangements he got for his ‘ohana on Saturday, Jan. 20, 2024, from Terry Gordines during the Grove Farm Market at Puhi Park field. Terry is with Tropical Flower Express which, in addition to the floral bunches and arrangements, also offers brewed coffee for shoppers.

Tiffany and Austin Wright of Kiku’s Garden (named after the Kikugawa family) set up shop on Saturday, Jan. 20, 2024, at the weekly Grove Farm Market at Puhi Park open field. Kiku’s Garden is a new vendor for 2024 that offers seedlings for many of the plant varieties home gardeners produce in their backyards.

Kudos to Shannon Hiramoto, Jaime Jimenez and all those hands that made the Mu‘umu‘u sale (and exchange) event (Jaime and Ka‘iulani Kauahi even had men’s Hawaiian style shirts, Lloyd Kajikawa). So, how many potential Pa‘ina guests took advantage of the Mu‘umu‘u Library for their luncheon event that’s coming up at the Smith’s Tropical Paradise … tickets are still available through the Kaua‘i Historical Society.
