I was wondering if there are any farmers markets on the island? My boyfriend and I love to sample local grown fruits and veggies when we visit a new locale.

Thanks,

Addie

With the exception of aloe, there are no real locally grown vegetables nor fruit. Aruba is a desert island and imports it's produce.

Someone on the island also sells aloe for E.D.

The "aloe man" sells his "potion" on Eagle and Palm Beaches.

I think the only place you will see anything fresh would be at the grocery stores, who by the way, have imported everything.....
