One of the quirky, fun things about Hawai‘i is its abundance of roadside fruit stands. These stands offer a variety of fruits in season, like mango, liliko‘i (passion fruit), papaya, avocado, and more. Just about all of the island roadside stands have one thing in common: the honor system. Customers are invited to take the fruit they like, so long as they deposit the correct amount of cash in the box or can left explicitly for that purpose. Here’s a recently discovered roadside stand. They only have avocado, but it is tasty avocado!

Roadside stands are so cute. My MIL loved stopping at them. We grow pretty much all of our veggies (and some fruits), and most people don’t grow anything we don’t already grow, so we don’t stop at them. I would LOVE to come upon an avocado stand but it’ll never happen in IN. LOL!

Teresa, the funny thing is, we have TWO trees dripping with avos and we still stop to buy because ours aren’t ripe yet. When mine are ripe, though, I’m going to buried with them – and avos are not exactly something one can preserve! So far, I have plans for: avocado ice cream, chocolate avocado pudding, avocados in my smoothies, and of course, guacamole. Other suggestions welcome!
