Farmers market in Chile
Raw
agistfile1.md

This was my trip to the market this morning. Every Friday we have a local market in the neighborhood. These happen everyday in multiple places every week. This was about 3 blocks from our place. Chilean peso has recently weakened in value!!! Good for me, it is now 640~ pesos to $1 USD, about 25 pesos more than in Dec. To convert price CLP/KILO to USD/LB divide CLP/1405. All of this is local, but not organic. Its only what is in season, so every couple of weeks it changes pretty drastically.

This is our bounty for the week. A nice score at $24 USD!!!
