Farmer’s markets are nice because it helps local farmers/merchants. I also prefer to shop where locals shop😉
Very true!
La feria del agricultor (farmer's market) es muy importante, no sólo porque encuentras productos frescos sino que también con tu compra apoyas a los pequeños productores y agricultores, así, el dinero queda en la economía local y no va a parar a manos de las corporaciones transnacionales, es cuestión de comercio justo.
So true with this!! We have become close to the vendors there because we see them each week and support them. I am grateful for them!
GREAT ADVICE ! Buying your fruits & veggies at the supermarket will DEFINITELY cost you MORE $$$ !
Also, going to the Farmer's Market is a great way to PRACTICE your Spanish, and make friends with the vendors.
The more you IMMERSE yourself in Costa Rican culture & customs, the HAPPIER you will be as an EXPAT !
Pero todos a quien les hablo son extranjeros 😆😆
I completely agree with this! Going to the farmers market is easily the highlight of my week!
LOL!
Omg Zoe!! Just look at the face, you look like a porcelain doll...Your face skin looks absolutely gorgeous...
HAHA! What a kind compliment! Thank you!!! :D
@@zoewilliamson_costarica 😊 How difficult it is for you and your family with the language barrier. Have you already learned a little bit of Spanish?
Thank you sharing 😊
Thanks for watching:)
No hay como la feria nosotros al igual que Uds vamos todos los sábados en Heredia. Digo que es la calidad de Whole foods con precios del supermercado más barato en USA. Me encanta!! Mejor comprar lo local 👋va a costar menos que lo importado de fijo
I totally agree with this!
nice video, a very entertainment way to do it, and informative
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Reminder when you are in CR still American, even Mexico and Canada are in America.
People get offended.
And we are in the USA.
Sorry I don't mean to be rude.
No pienso que sea Usted "rude" por corregirla a la mujer se le fue la pajarita 😆usualmente ella utiliza el término correcto
Yes when you are from the U.S. and are asked where you are from, answer U.S., not America.
@@6789axe U.S. citizens tend to think (ignorantly so) that they are ‘American’, and noone else is. Educated people know that technically, the Americas extend all the way from Canada to the southern-most tip of Argentina includes. So when someone asks a US citizen where they are from, they technically should answer ‘United States’, in order not to offend people from Canada, Mexico, and all the countries in Central and South America.
@@6789axe no big deal to you. The world doesn’t revolve around one person (you). Its information. Keep it moving if its no big deal. Can’t believe you took the energy to respond to a simple fact.
@@6789axe funny you attack me over something stupid, and when you get it back waaa waaa ego is what revolves around your world with you in the middle😏😉
Thank you for the suggestions. Will you do a tour of your new home?
Hi, you are welcome! And yes, I would like to do a home tour video in the near future:)
You are back! always good videos, I almost can smell the vegies by your description. Very entertainment video of the farmers markets, Glad you are back
Thank you so much! I am glad that you liked the video! Another great food video coming tomorrow
Hola amiga,te envío Saludos desde san Ramón de Alajuela Costa Rica,Díos les bendiga.
Muchas gracias! God bless you too!
@@zoewilliamson_costarica y como les va en Costa Rica,con la cultura y la economía zoe?
Hi Zoe,
What an interesting food Video! my wife and I are also selling our house at coco to move to the South... for now we will buy around Jaco but I saw Dominicana for the first time in some videos and it is very nice... now we are still in Italy and we only come on vacation... but soon we will come to live in Costa Rica and it will be very useful to have the food hacks to do the shopping... we want to eat healthy and spend the right amount so the farmer's market is good.. Thank you!!!
Hi Andrea, I am glad these food hacks supported you! Thats exciting that you are thinking about moving more southern CR and also thinking about living here full time! If you would like me to connect you to any professionals/companies to help make your move easier (realtor, residency person, vehicle guy, shipping company, travel agency, ect), let me know and I can link you up to them. I prefer the south over the north personally- I find it to be more lush down here:) blessing with your up coming adventure!
Dear Zoe, Thank you very much for your response....
You are very kind, yes I will very gladly ask you for contact information
that you have professionals.... We are still organizing
And it will be very helpful. I too think the south is more lush from what little we have been able to visit for now. But we are happy and excited and can't wait to be THERE! I will be coming at the end of September to sign the sale of the casà del Coco and will stay a few days in Jaco with friends to see some land for purchase ! Talk to you soon and thank you so much for your availability.
@@andreaciappi3186 You are so welcome! Feel free to email me at zoewilliamson1@icloud.com and let me know what contacts you would like and I can link you up to those people. Congratulations with the sale of your new home here in the beautiful CR!
Wish you could give us an idea of prices….for the chicken for instant, so that we could compare. Sounds like something wrong with the fridge btw
Good to know about the chicken. And it happened in our last house too- the fridge makes our lettuce wet for some reason haha!
It is my first time watching this😂
LOL! I hope you enjoyed it!
Zoe - you and your amazing videos! keep up the good work! 😃
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Pura vida!
Hi can you please share video regarding cost of living in costa rica grocery shopping like meet food house hold items
Great suggestion! I'd like to do something like this in the future:)
You should make more tocon videos ❤
What is a "tocon" video?
Hello Zoe, it was a pleasure meeting you and your wonderful family! Just saw a video and it was great information and amazing to help new visitors like us in Costa Rica!
The above comments most have been from Vince or Nicole which by the way she still talks about you, and your wonderful house. Sending love to you all!
@@CUNI30 It was great meeting you as well! And how adorable! Tell them I say hello haha!
what is your fave shipping company? I think you mentioned you would have a link? thanks
Hi there, It is "Get it Here Jerry." They are fabulous and we used them when shipping our pallets from the US to CR and we also use them for shipments from amazon to CR. They also ship cars as well. If you would like me to make a personal introduction between you and the company, just email me at zoewilliamson1@icloud.com and I can get you linked up with them immediately:)
Thanks!
Thanks for watching:)
Hey Zoe. I’m heading down to Dominical in two weeks, can we chat? I’m worried about transport as I won’t have a car.
Yeah, send me a DM @thezoewilliamson on IG
Why did you choose not to live in Nosara?
Hi there, several different reasons. It was pretty dry up there and it started to get very touristy. We moved south because it is more lush, local, more rural and cooler. And we enjoy the community in our new location as well:)
Have you noticed any red tide on the beachs at all?
@@Kroma1986 I just asked my brother this and he surfs all the time. He said no for where we in the outskirts of the osa pensula
@@zoewilliamson_costarica unfortunately it won't matter where you choose to live along the coast, the influx of Americans and Canadians is going to turn any beach community into a very touristy place. CR is doomed and yes I am part of the problem. Luckily Nosara has a very organized community that is doing everything to preserve its nature.
🏝👌
pura vida!
Zoe😘😘😘. 🇨🇷🇺🇸👍💪
