Doongalik Farmers’ Market

Doongalik Farmers’ Market in Nassau is a multi-functional space.

There are also stalls selling freshly caught seafood and meat.

Da Market by the Bahamas National Trust

Along with the many souvenirs and crafts sold at ‘Da Market’, introduced by the the Bahamas National Trust in 2011, vendors also make a wide selection of baked bread, jams and jellies to sell to customers every Saturday in national parks across Grand Bahama, Nassau and the Abacos.

Delicious sweets ready for immediate consumption, local produce, seafood and savoury goodies like quiche and conch fritters are enjoyed thoroughly.

Field to Fork Community Farm

The Field to Fork Community Farm is an innovative Bahamian initiative created with the intention of improving agriculture in the Bahamas.
