Cultivating Community
a local project in Puerto Rico
Mercados Noroeste is a collective of four markets located in four pueblos of Puerto Rico: Aguadilla, Isabela, Quebradillas and Hatillo. We offer a variety of fresh produce, locally sourced goods, and artisanal products, aiming to provide a diverse and accessible experience for the community. We are dedicated to promoting healthy living, supporting local farmers and producers, and creating food access for all.

Bananas from Lares
vendor spotlight with AGG Corporation
For more than 10 years, Daimara and her family have been harvesting bananas for the farmers market of Aguadilla. The rich soil in Lares promises a taste that you can't find anywhere else. Their dedication to Agroecology, a comprehensive approach that combines ecology and social aspects to implement agri-food innovations with respect for the environment, has given them this treasure.
