When we moved to Costa Rica we discovered the Farmers Markets. In Costa Rica, they are called Feria’s. What a vibrant hub of passionate people! We strongly suggest you visit as many as possible during your time in Costa Rica. More than just exotic fruits and veggies, you will explore a tantalizing number of baked goods, sauces, and homemade foods made with love! Tons of healty products from vanilla, honey, to herbal blends, fresh fruit juices, skin creams, mushroom products, cocoa, and much more. The BEST place to buy authentic hand-made souvenirs! The authentic Boracu mask carving, jewelry, photography, furniture, and water color art to just name a few!
The Farmers Market in Uvita and Dominical, Costa Rica is a bustling colorful center of gathering for local artisans, farmers, wellness products, and healers. You can also expect amazing homemade food, fresh fish, cheese, and so much more! Also, the quality of these products are sooo much better than what you would ever find in a big box retailer supermarket where transportation is the main costs and the goods are picked green and shipped.
Prices are amazing at the Farmers Market(Feria’s) We now buy close to 80% of all of our food at these markets. On top of all of this there is often live music and a great chance to talk to the local healers about their wellness products. We have done everything from a therapy session, tarrot card reading, to talking to nutritionalists and herbalist about natural products, body cleansing, learning Spanish, and buying fruit trees!
Our breakfast at Casitas Del Rio Riverfront Nature Lodge is all locally sourced products. We go to great lengths to support the local farmers, local eggs, local coffee, and get the freshest tastiest ingredients for our guests. Much of what we purchase comes from these local markets, but we are able to grow some of the fruit right at our nature lodge!
