A Friday Vegetable Market

After you've visited the Friday Volcan Market, another market to visit in Volcan on Fridays is the vegetable market that is held at the Catholic church. I was told it was organic, or supposed to be. It is located at the building behind the Catholic church in Volcan. To get there, turn past Romero like you are going toward Cerro Punta and then look to the left until you see the church.

Turn into the parking lot behind this building and park behind it. Make your way over toward the office. If you get there before it opens, you will see people lined up outside the door. It opens at 11:30 and arriving early is a must. When the door opens, people rush in and all the "good stuff" will go quickly!

Fresh from the farm! The produced just arrived. Here's where you enter.

Setting up the produce. There are usually a pretty good variety of vegetables. Carrots, cabbage, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, celery, zucchini, broccoli and more!

 The thing we love about the market is the prices. They are better than the grocery stores and even the little vegetable shops. The selection and quality at this market is different each week and depending on how quick you are to get in the door.

 After you pick your produce, you go to the scales and weigh it and write down the weight on your order form. Then you take it up to the ladies at the table and they price it out. Bring cash to this market and small bills are appreciated! The ladies told me they have been doing this market in the same location for 5-6 years but have been having the market for 11 years! It's a little hidden treasure you can participate in every Friday!

One last thing...bring your own bags!
