The Noord food market will bring local growers and residents together on Friday, October 16, with fresh Aruba-grown products available directly from producers.
Market runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Centro di Bario Noord will host the Agriculture and Food Market from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. as part of Aruba’s 2026 observance of World Agriculture and Food Day.
Organizers say visitors will be able to buy fruit, vegetables, plants and other fresh local products. Small plants will be offered for AWG 5.
Local growers receive a public platform
The community market is intended to give farmers and other local producers a place to present their goods directly to the public. It also gives residents an opportunity to learn more about what is grown and produced in Aruba.
The event highlights the work involved in cultivating crops despite the challenges facing local agriculture. Organizers are encouraging residents to support producers by choosing locally grown food.
Food security and local production in focus
World Agriculture and Food Day is also being used to draw attention to agriculture, food security and the connection between producers and consumers. The Noord event is open to residents and families from across Aruba.
