Organics In Costa Rica
We believe in quality over quantity! Organic foods employs more sustainable production techniques and doesn't require the use of artificial fertilizers, pesticides and toxic dyes. Costa Rica has one of the best climates in the world, and tree ripened fruits like sugar. Biting into a stick of celery, a carrot, or baked potato grown organically tastes fresh, crisp, and unlike the produce available in a grocery store.
Small producers are getting more attracted towards growing and producing organic foods. Options are growing all over Costa Rica and the more interest the population shows the more possibilities we have.
The places where to get organic food grows as the demands get bigger. The central valley has several options of daily markets, street fairs and restaurants, other areas of the country still have limited options but there are a few.
There is a compilation of markets and restaurants that sell and serve organic products including fruits, vegetables, meats, cheese, milk, coffee, cleaning products, etc.
Consuming organic products is not only something we should do for ourselves, of course the benefits to our health will be enormous but we are also helping the small local producers directly. In the bigger picture, we are also helping the whole environment, as organic agriculture is a way of reducing global warming.
