The Farmers Market (Feria)



Farmers Market in Coronado



A trip to the farmers market (feria) usually always reaps a bounty of good fresh produce at a good price.  Most all towns in Costa Rica have a farmers market (feria) on Saturday or Sunday.  You should know you prices though to ensure you are buying at a good price.

You should go through the farmers market (feria) first observing both quality and prices and then go back to purchase from who was offering the best bargain.

When looking for bargains you should go to the farmers market (feria) late probably an hour before they close.  You have to make quicker decisions then though as prices can change quickly as the vendors are trying to get rid of all their products.

Remember that you should also know the prices at your local supermarket also, because sometimes they are the better value.
