~ Area Farmers Markets ~
One of the most enjoyable things about our area is the fresh fruits and vegetables. You can find Fruit and Veggie stands along the drive to Dominical (west) and San Isidro (east). But if that isn't enough, several Farmers Markets are also available in each of our surrounding towns. Be sure to get there early as product gets picked-over as the day progresses. Most vendors take both USD and Colones.

UVITA ~ Saturdays 8:00 to 12:00 Head into Uvita’s central district and find it at the indoor soccer field. Prices at this feria are reasonable, with some premiums on specialty items. Some items are imported from cooler regions like portobello mushrooms and asparagus. But if you stick to what’s local, you will be paying slightly better prices than the supermarket. Check out Uvita’s Farmer’s Market for: or vegetables, cold-pressed coconut oil, fruits, seeds, nuts, grains, spices, fish, cheese, meat, salsas, pickles, bread, herbal remedies, jewelry, natural body products, souvenirs, clothing, crafts, chocolate, massage, reflexology, and more.

DOMINICAL (Eco Feria) ~ Fridays 8:30-1:30 Although still smaller than some of the other local farmers’ markets, each Friday brings more venders and shoppers. I expect that variety will only continue to grow with time. From fresh exotic fruits and veggies, to local hand crafted jewelry, kombuchas, tinctures, herbs and spices, the Dominical farmers’ market has become a one-stop shop for many locals.
