In a time when we are not supposed to leave our houses and the whole economy has been affected, we should support one another. Nowadays, we can count on several applications that allow us to get groceries delivered. However, there are way more options beyond Rappi or Uber Eats. We would like to share with you a range of local shops, producers, farmers, and small businesses that have shifted their operations in order to deliver their products to your doorstep.
From the Farm to Your House
If you find yourself looking for fresh fruits and vegetables and you also fancy helping out farmers and local producers, we have a few options for you!
- La Canasta is an organization that offers a wide variety of fresh harvest options, including fruits, vegetables, root vegetables, leaves, herbs, eggs, mushrooms, dairy products, bakery items, veggie burgers, granolas, condiments, legumes, and much more. They work hand-in-hand with local producers and you can order baskets that range from ($10.000/$2.50 USD) to ($63.000 COP/$15 USD), or individual items at a fair price online here.

Helping Restaurant Suppliers
Other businesses and suppliers had to reinvent themselves in order to reach individuals instead of restaurants, and now, they are offering grocery delivery in Bogotá. Here are a few options to look at:
