Cajas Verdes

A solution to the lack of market access for smallholder farmers.

​

Cajas Verdes are personalized boxes that you can fill up a selection of fresh products from the weekly farmer's market.

Modeled on the CSA (community supported agriculture) boxes model, the Cajas Verdes were initiated to create a market base for local smallholder farmers in the Osa. Today, the Cajas Verdes have evolved into a customizable ordering system through a WhatsApp business account and LOTS of manual Excel work! Visit our catalog and choose your own pick-up point!

​

For only ₡6,500 ($11), you can choose your favorite items from the catalog or order a surprise Caja Verde that will be specially curated for you every week using local, seasonal produce from the market.

​

You can view our produce selection or make an order by visiting our catalog.

Some example products for ordering include:

​

  • Yuca, Papaya, Pineapple, Watermelon, Coconut, Potatoes, Plantain, Avocado, Beans, Rice, Milk, Cheese, Goat cheese, Bread, Cakes, and many other fresh local gems
