We'll be on Bonaire the end of April and curious if any place sells organic lettuce and other organic veggies?

Thanks, honeymoon2

I don't recall ever seeing any organic produce but if any one had it most likely Le Potugesa.

Try "More for Less".
Also known as "Hit or Miss".

I doubt you will find any on island. The produce from More for Less is mostly from South America and if it is organic, it is not labeled as such. Surprised to hear the "Hit or Miss" dig. I have lived here for 20 plus years and by far, they are one of the best if you need a consistent source. Jerry must have hit them on a bad day...

At More for Less, the lettuce from Quito is in bags marked: 100% Organico, Andean Organics, Cultivado con agua pura...Certificado Mundial, Sin Quimicos. I think that covers it.

Yep, and that also goes for a few other veggies and some fruit, and they stock a few non-fresh organic items, like brown rice, as well. And I seem to remember a store called Roselord that should sell some organic stuff. Does anyone know about that?

Roselord is in Sabana Nikiboko area. I never saw organic produce, mostly vitamins, tonics and what not. A great resource for sure. They carry Braggs Cider Vinegar too.

Thanks, everyone, for your help, looks like we'll be able to find what we are looking for next month.

Cheers, honeymoon2
