Farmers Market

[DIR] Home

Some people would like us to believe that there are cronic food shortages all over Cuba.  The following photos clearly show that this is not the case.  Markets like this one in Habana are similar to those around the country where local produce - grown without pesticides - are available to the people.  The markets are lively places and they are the heart of the neighbourhoods.  The fruits and vegetables are picked at the peak of ripeness and enjoyed in season.  Because it is grown locally, the produce does not require transportation over thousands of miles as it does in North America.
