The farmers’ markets in Cayman are not only perfect for buying flavourful homegrown (and mostly organic) produce at the peak of its freshness, but they are a wonderful place to meet local farmers and people who are passionate about knowing the provenance of their food.
Be sure to get to the markets early to snag the best produce.
Camana Bay Local Harvest Market
Discover all things grown in Cayman at the weekly Camana Bay Local Harvest Market on Wednesdays from 10am-4pm. Local farmers from around the Island gather to offer fresh produce and locally-farmed goods in stalls under the solar array opposite Jessie’s Juice Bar. During high season, you will find a combined Farmers' and Artisans' Market lining the Paseo, providing hand-crafted speciality goods, gifts and produce, with adjusted hours. For up-to-date information, visit the Camana Bay website.
Hamlin Stephenson Market at The Cricket Grounds
This vibrant and lively market is open Monday to Friday from 7am-6.30pm and Saturday from 6am-7.30pm. Located on Huldah Avenue, next to the cricket pitch in George Town, you can buy fresh local produce, fresh-caught fish, meats, including goat meat, and eggs, as well as sample traditional Caymanian cuisine. Purchase unique souvenirs and gifts, handmade crafts and artwork, traditional straw work, preserves, sauces, seasonings, natural beauty products and jewellery made with shells or the precious Caymanite stone.
