Back in 2009, over lunch with a friend in Sayulita, we started talking about our dream jobs—the kind of work we'd do if we had all the time in the world. I said, "I'd open a farmers market so we could finally buy fresh, organic, local food right here in town." My friend smiled and replied, "Perfect... because that's exactly what we're going to do."
Just four weeks later, Mercado del Pueblo was born.
We started with six passionate vendors, a handful of volunteers, and an empty lot that needed a lot of love. By the end of our very first season, the market had grown to sixteen vendors and had become a place where locals could count on finding fresh produce, artisan foods, and natural products every Friday.
Over the years, we've changed locations, visited countless local farms, built lasting relationships with producers, and worked together with our community to create something truly special. Today, we're proud to see healthy, sustainable, and locally made products becoming part of everyday life in Sayulita, from neighborhood kitchens to local restaurants and shops.
Today, Mercado del Pueblo is home to nearly 80 local vendors every Friday during the high season. Located on Calle Revolución, just north of the main bridge, the market is much more than a place to shop—it's where the community comes together.
Whether you're looking for organic fruits and vegetables, freshly baked bread, handcrafted goods, delicious food, live music, or simply a wonderful way to spend your Friday morning, you'll find it here.
Come experience the heart of Sayulita—meet the people behind the products, support local families, and enjoy one of the town's favorite weekly traditions. We can't wait to welcome you!
