14 years ago, we embarked on this adventure.
The idea of bringing the freshest and healthiest products from the most sustainable farms in the country to this beloved corner of Guanacaste was just a dream. The journey has been filled with learning, satisfaction, and change, but one thing has remained and continues to grow to this day: the support of our customers and the commitment of our network of sustainable farmers.
The town of Avellanas, Tamarindo, and all the surrounding areas are very different now. New populations, development, and opportunities have arisen. Along with them, new threats and needs have emerged. The concepts of convenience and the pace of life have also changed.
In this new context, healthy eating, environmental sustainability, and conscious living are increasingly relevant and more important ideals than ever before.
At GAIA, we are committed to evolving with the times, embracing the new pace of life in our beloved Guanacaste, and upholding the principles of health, sustainability, and awareness that initially drew us to this paradise on earth.
GAIA joins forces with Mercato.
Mercato is a Costa Rican company born with a clear purpose of promoting organic and agroecological food through a 100% digital shopping experience and highly convenient delivery formats for consumers in the Greater Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica, in the cities of San José, Cartago, Heredia, and Alajuela. Their shopping experience in the GAM includes a selection of over 900 fresh products from the most sustainable farms in the country: from organic and agroecological vegetables, pasture-raised eggs and meats, regenerative farming meats, artisanal breads, probiotic beverages, pastas, cheeses, dairy products, artisanal processed foods, and a range of products for specific dietary needs.
GAIA and Mercato together, we will elevate the shopping experience.
GAIA and Mercato share the purpose of promoting healthier, fresher eating and supporting the work of producers who, beyond sustainability, are working on environmental and health regeneration. We are honored to announce this alliance, which will bring a series of immediate benefits to our customers.
