Offered on the first and third Saturday morning of each month, the Chef Shuttle is led by resort Chef and local boy Jayson Kanekoa who will escort you and other resort guests to the farmers market in Waimea, a Hawaiian homestead popular with visitors and locals alike. Stop at one of his favorite breakfast spots along the way, then meet local farmers and vendors to select the freshest produce and seasonal items, which will be taken back to the resort to be prepared and enjoyed that evening.

Chef Jayson will present and describe the preparation process for each course.
