There is a monthly pop-up farmer's market happening at West Visayas State University main campus every last Thursday and Friday of the month. Dubbed as "Kadiwa sa WVSU" this is a collaboration between the Department of Agriculture-Western Visayas and the university. This marketing platform shortens the agricultural supply chain while providing consumers the freshest produce at the best price.
Given the skyrocketing prices of basic food items (hello inflation!), this pop-up farmer's market is God sent. This mutually advantageous initiative gives university staff, students and the general public the opportunity to purchase fresh, healthy food while supporting local farmer cooperatives and entrepreneurs.
My market haul always consists of fresh shitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and assorted fresh vegetables that make weekend cooking fun!
