Farmer and Artisan Market

The Farmer and Artisan Market (Mercado del Agricultor y Artesano) is an indoor farmers market held every Saturday in Buenavista del Norte, at the northwestern tip of Tenerife. Set in the historic Plaza de los Remedios, its 10 stalls open at 8:30am and close at 2pm.

About the Farmer and Artisan Market

The market draws on the fertile Teno valley for its produce. You'll find seasonal fruit and vegetables grown at zero kilometres, local honey, Teno cheese, and homemade preserves, alongside handcrafted goods from Tenerife artisans. Thematic workshops often run alongside the stalls on Saturdays, covering beekeeping, natural fibre crafts, and local growing techniques.

The hall is indoors and wheelchair accessible, so a wet morning on this coast does not change the plan. Arrive near the 8:30am opening for the best pick of fresh produce, before the stalls begin to wind down.

What to buy at the Farmer and Artisan Market

The focus is firmly on local and organic. Pick up fresh fruit and vegetables from Teno-area growers, artisan Teno cheese, raw honey, and seasonal preserves. The craft stalls sell handmade goods typical of the Canary Islands, and workshops on the day sometimes feature Tenerife pepper cultivation or wool working.

How to get to the Farmer and Artisan Market

The market is at Pl. de los Remedios, 7, in the centre of Buenavista del Norte. By car, take the TF-42 road into town and follow signs to the main plaza, where public parking is available nearby. TITSA buses connect Buenavista del Norte with other parts of Tenerife, with the nearest stop a short walk from Plaza de los Remedios.

Where to stay in Buenavista del Nte.

Buenavista del Norte is a small, peaceful town at the northwest tip of Tenerife, so staying central puts you close to everything. Town Centre is your best bet, with a handful of rural houses and small hotels within easy walking distance of the market square.

If you prefer more options nearby, the coastal area around Punta de Teno has some rural accommodation worth checking, and it's only a short drive back into town on market day.

What time does the Farmer and Artisan Market open?

The Farmer and Artisan Market opens at 8:30am every Saturday and closes at 2pm, and it does not trade on any other day of the week. Come early in the morning for the fullest choice of Teno valley fruit and vegetables, since stalls start winding down well before the 2pm close.

What products are sold at the Farmer and Artisan Market?

The Farmer and Artisan Market sells fresh fruit and vegetables from Teno valley growers, Teno cheese, raw honey, homemade preserves and organic produce, alongside handmade crafts from Tenerife artisans. Some Saturdays add thematic workshops on beekeeping, wool working or Tenerife pepper cultivation next to the regular stalls.

Is the Farmer and Artisan Market wheelchair accessible?

Yes, the Farmer and Artisan Market is wheelchair accessible, and because all 10 stalls trade indoors at Pl. de los Remedios, 7, they stay usable whatever the weather is doing on the Teno coast. That makes it a straightforward stop for anyone who would rather not cross an open square.

Can you pay by card at the Farmer and Artisan Market?

Yes, contactless cards and mobile payments are both accepted at the Farmer and Artisan Market, alongside cash. With only 10 stalls, it is still worth checking with a grower or craft trader before you fill a bag, but there is no need to hunt down a cash machine in Buenavista del Norte before Saturday morning.
