A list of organic grocery stores in Hawaii organized by island. These grocery stores carry healthy food such as natural and organic groceries, fresh organic produce, and other health and wellness products. Most organic grocery stores in Hawaii are located on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Big Island.
Biggest selection of organic products is found at Whole Foods Market in Honolulu (Kahala Mall) and Kailua. Whole Foods has various deli vendors, a food bar, and a all-organic salad bar. Whole Foods has the best selection of organic alcohol and meat on the islands.
Down to Earth is the only vegetarian chain in Hawaii. I mostly shop at Down to Earth because prices are usually lower than Whole Foods and it’s a smaller store, so I get things faster. Plus, you get 5% off entire purchase with a membership to Hawaii Vegetarian Society. You also get Down To Earth rewards with a free DTE membership card. Down to Earth has a food bar featuring organic ingredients, organic espresso bar, deli, reverse osmosis/alkaline water refill station, and kombucha on tap. Note: no meat or fish sold here, since it’s vegetarian. No alcohol.
This is the biggest Down to Earth I’ve seen. It’s also the newest.
Kokua Market is not far from Down to Earth Honolulu and it has a food bar, as well as meat selection.
