Frequently asked questions
What's in season right now in Hawaii?
It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak early February through mid-April; sweet corn peak early April through late October; tomatoes peak early February through late November.
When does the market season start in Hawaii?
It never quite stops — Hawaii carries harvests through the winter months, which is exactly when some of its best produce peaks.
Where can I go u-pick in Hawaii?
We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in Hawaii, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
