My favorite place in the city. A small grocery store that brings most of their produce from the owners' farm a few hours outside the city. Here you can get most things you need to cook at home. Pastured eggs, chicken, a wide array of fruits and veggies, nuts, cheeses, olives, milks, from specialty foods such as zucchini flowers, rare local colombian apples to aloe vera, artisanal kefir, 90% Terrasana colombian chocolate, etc.
