Wow Carl....I will probably spend all my Saturdays in markets like this when I come down and, just to get to know all these beautiful people...like winning the lottery 😊 Thanks so much for sharing..
Hey Jivan, thank you for your comment. You can reach out to us directly at info@abecuador.com and we can give you details for lodging and properties for sale in our area. Thanks
Guayusa grows in the Vilcabamba area. I have a few friends who have tall trees. It probably originates from the Amazonian region but definitely grows here 😄
@@AbundantLivingEcuador Thanks, good to know! 🌱 i make my coffee by pouring over thw grounds with guayusa tea and it takes the edge off the caffeine jitters because of theanine in the guayusa. I also like Guayusa with lemon, ginger and honey. 🍋🍵🍯
There is an expat ran accountability system in place. The cooperative does regular random farm drop ins often to check to see that their farming practices are truly organic. It's an amazing and trustworthy program.
Some stores accept crypto but the Saturday organic market is not one of those places. There might be a few people in there who would take crypto. A friend who grows and sells edible mushrooms like Shitake and Lion's mane will accept BTC for his mushrooms 🍄
I previously thought that all of Ecuador is organic only, no Monsanto allowed, no artificial pesticides herbicides whatsoever but maybe I was mistaken. If this market is in villabamba, I wonder what organics can be found elsewhere ? It sounds like the only one in villabamba anyway
Hey Carl, as far as we know Ecuador is non-gmo, but there are chemical pesticides in the country. The organic market in Vilcabamba ensures that the food sold by those certified vendors has not been sprayed with glyphosate. There are about 5 organic tiendas here in Vilcabamba as well as the Saturday organic market. I hope this helps.
Fake honey will definitely crystalize as well, usually faster. Really depends on the nectar collected. Come from the "easter egg" breeds. 3 of which are easily found in the states.
Oh wow, that's interesting information. Thankfully we know these vendors and their bee hive locations and process. It doesn't get much better than the wild honey produced here.
Thanks for your feedback Carl. I can try to make an updated video like that for you. If you haven't seen the cost of living in Ecuador video I did last year, check it out. Not much has changed regarding pricing. ua-cam.com/video/jXsRUXLpprA/v-deo.html
I love this place ❤️ la paz se busca y se atesora
Great 👍 video
Glad you enjoyed it!

Very entertaining and interesting video, hope you continue making this kind of videos.
Carl, your Spanish accent is pure Lojano. Loved it.
Muchas gracias amigo! Do you live in Loja?
This video alone may be what gets my wife to say yes to Vilcabamba lol.
Great news, haha!
Great market review Gents👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
Wow brother I love to see that. I have seen some of the fruits we do have in Uganda also like guavas, avocado and lemons. Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for tuning in.
awesome
Indeed
I miss grenadillas ! They are so good if you ever have an upset stomach
Exactly!
Living foods yess 🙏 aaand living water, we are mostly water 🌊
That's right! Don't panic, it's organic. You are what you eat 😎😅😃
How can I contact you for details on where to stay in Equador and potentially buying property.

What was the pricing for some of the other items? Like the tea you got, gluten free breads. Honey? Thanks😊
The tea was $1, the gluten free bread $4, the honey $10
@@AbundantLivingEcuador thank you.
Cool market! Where's the beef?
🥩 🤤
Is that energizing leaf what I think it is?
It's Guayusa. You can also buy Coca leaves here. Very energizing indeed. Good for high altitude
Guayusa grows in the Vilcabama area? I thought it grew at lower elevations in the Amazon region.

Guayusa is amazing. I love it too. The theanine balances the caffeine. The tree here produces so many leaves.
Everyone except you appears to be quite cold. Was it cool out that day?
Sometimes at 8am it can be 62 degrees before it warms up to 75-85 degrees during the day.
Question - how do you know the fruit and veggies are organic ( no fertilizer)? Is there a government or local overnight?

Carl, Is Ecuador your favorite country that you have visited so far!?
Yes, absolutely!

Sure, why not!? ....come on down. haha

Would have been more worth watching if I could hear more prices of goods instead of him hold up stuff and grinning.not much actual information.
