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 coming
weekend! This Sunday, July 7th, from 10:00AM-2:00PM, the
Ostrich Farm organizes the monthly local farmers market.

The farmers market's goal is to promote products and art-
work made and produced in Aruba. More and more lo-
cal farmers are actively growing vegetables, fruits, farm-
ing 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 & Restaurant that sits beneath
a large, shady gondola, open on three sides to the cool-
ing 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 interactive.
For authentic souvenirs, guests can browse around the
Framers Market and Art Shop. q
