about us
We are a community market that gathers what our neighbours make with their hands: women who grow food without chemicals, craftspeople working reclaimed wood, women and men who weave, ferment, distil, heal and create with love.
We promote reuse, bulk buying and packaging that returns to the earth.
To sustain a circular economy in Ayampe where local makers can live from their craft, offering residents and visitors healthy products that care for the body and the land.
We are the smallest big market in the world and we will be a reference in Ecuador, where Ayampe stands with us not only with its waves but as a town that chose to produce, consume and live together differently.
