Shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables has never been easier

Fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of vitamins and minerals. You can snack on apple slices, make a fruity smoothie or bring color to your lunch or dinner plate with some broccoli or carrots.

With current situations, however, the issue is really being able to go out to purchase fresh produce—but you don’t have to worry. Thanks to digital modernization and SME solutions, your fruits and vegetables can be brought to your doorstep through local online stores.

You can buy fresh produce whenever you need to stock up without leaving your home. And you don’t only replenish your pantry, you’re also able to support local farmers since these shops act as a direct link to farmers and their produce. Check out these online fruits and vegetable shops below:

BukidFresh

BukidFresh is an online farmers market that was founded on the hope of improving the agricultural sector and championing the majority of smallholder farmers in the Philippines, primarily as the farmers are given the chance to set the price for their own produce.

They deliver to Muntinlupa, Paranaque, Las Piñas, Pasay, Manila, Taguig, Makati, Pateros, San Juan, Pasig, Mandaluyong, Bacoor West (District 1) and southern parts of Quezon City (Districts 1, 3 and 4).
