Advertiser Staff
The owners of Lahaina's popular Pacific'O and I'O restaurants have opened 'Aina Gourmet Market, a grocery and sundry shop in North Ka'anapali's new Honua Kai Resort and Spa.
The market is based on the "100-Mile Market" concept whereby the store is stocked with products from within a 100-mile radius.
"Local products are fresher, often more nutritional, and good for our local economy," said market manager Angel Green. "We stock Maui produce first, preferably from smaller farms and island-based businesses."
The market offers fresh eggs, organic produce, meats, wines, chocolates, coffee, smoothies, gelato, panini, specialty gifts and sundries. Some of the vendors include Ono Farms, Olowalu Farms, Maui Cattle Company, Oils of Aloha, Maui Brewing Co., Surfing Goat Dairy and the market's own O'o Farm.
'Aina Gourmet Market is part of a collection of Maui establishments led by Executive Chef James McDonald, Louis Coulombe and Stephan Bel-Robert
