Celebrating a Long Time Advertiser: Kohala Grown Market & Deli

Kohala Grown Market is a rare find. Located in Hawi, on the northwestern tip of Hawai‘i Island, the market offers a unique selection of island-grown fruits and vegetables, along with locally sourced groceries and natural body care products.

Kohala Grownʻs deli serves delicious locally grown fresh fruit smoothies and juices, coffee, kombucha on tap, as well as healthy, ready-made wraps, sandwiches and salads made from locally sourced ingredients. There is seating in the front and back of the building so patrons can purchase freshly prepared food items, then sit down and relax in a casual atmosphere.

This deli is unique to Hawi, being the only “grab and go” food establishment in the area. Many times this is desirable for people coming through town on their way to visit Pololū Valley and the King Kamehameha statue, when they want to grab a quick meal—still keeping it healthy, tasty and affordable. Co-owner Leo Woods says, “Locals love it because they can pick up a quick sandwich or salad on their way to work or the beach.” Leo’s wife and co-owner Jeannievie Woods says, “visitors and residents alike love to stop in to experience fruits and vegetables they’ve never had before.”

Besides all the wonderful fresh produce, the store carries local eggs, meat, fish, local dairy products, cheeses, breads, and natural body care products including ocean-safe sunscreens. Also, nutritional supplements such as Hawai‘i Island grown noni and medicinal mushroom products.

Leo and Jeannievie Woods founded Kohala Grown Market & Deli in 2014 with the help of their two sons, Isaiah and Kaleo. They moved to their current location in January 2018, expanding widely on what they had been offering, including adding the deli at that time.

Jeannievie says, “All of our products and produce are carefully chosen to reflect the values of responsible and sustainable agriculture in Hawai‘i. Our goal is to support local farmers and the community by committing to making locally produced food options available seven days a week. Our hours on weekdays are 10am–6pm, and weekends, 10am–4pm.”
