Farmer's Markets

As you might imagine, with the warm weather here, there are wonderful fruits and vegetables available.  Many of the small towns in the area have weekly Farmer's Markets to allow people to sell their produce.  Tamarindo is no exception and has begun their own Farmer's Market.  It takes place every Saturday and is well attended by both vendors and buyers.

There are, of course, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

But Tamarindo has taken their Farmers Market a step further and has added many other products.  For example, they have fish and chicken,

and eggs and honey.

 There are also people selling homemade baked goods of all kinds like chocolate, flavored  nut butters and empanadas.

There are also paintings and carvings.
 

They have specialty items as well like ice cream

and even wine.

Overall, they have done a good job with the market.  It is a very interesting experience.
