(Oranjestad)—If you’re looking for some fresh and local produce, visit the farmer’s market STR FARM Aruba for a nice selection of fruits, veggies, local honey, and other fresh and locally produced goods!
Every Saturday from 8am to 12pm, local farmers and producers gather at STR Farm Aruba to offer some of their home-made and organic products to the community. Located in Alto Vista 18F, offers a wide range of fruits and veggies, as well as honey, eggs and herbs. You may even find homemade kimchi and local coffee!
Agriculture is a huge part of the Aruban identity, as the island has a rich history of being built by local farmers and cattlemen back in the old days. This is why these local farmer’s markets are essential in maintaining the tradition of the “cunucero*” and to further promote the beauty and love that goes into farming and cultivation of home-grown food.
