Local Farmers Market & Ostriches

MATIVIDIRI — There is an Ostrich Farm in Aruba, did
you know? At this beautiful place where ostriches are
kept and taken care of you can have double fun! This
Sunday, September 1st, from 10:00AM-2:00PM, the Os-
trich Farm organizes the monthly local farmers market.

The farmers market's goal is to promote products and
artwork made and produced in Aruba. More and more
local farmers are actively growing vegetables, fruits,
farming animals such as chicken and pigs and selling
them to the public. What to think of locally made Pica
de Jello (hot sauce), a great souvenir to take home.
Or products handmade by Aruban artisans that offer
jewelry and glass blowing handicrafts. Indulge in the
local ambiance at the Savanna Lodge Bar & Restau-
rant that sits beneath a large, shady gondola, open
on three sides to the cooling Aruban breezes and
rugged countryside. Decorated with unique African
figurines from Zimbabwe and with 27ft long wooden
hand crafted tables you and your friends or family can
admire the market’s offerings, relax and enjoy a great
meal and an ice cold beer or tropical fruit shake. You
may of course also join in on a tour of the ostriches.
Ostrich Farm Tours are daily every half hour 9 – 3:30 pm,
no reservations needed for small groups. The guided
tours are an activity that is both informative and in-
teractive. For authentic souvenirs, guests can browse
around the Framers Market and Art Shop. q
