With hundreds of thousands confirmed COVID cases, we should still remain as vigilant as ever. Whether lockdown restrictions have been tightened or eased, it’s still better to stay indoors as much as you can. If you’re looking for options to replace the usual trips to the grocery or palengke, we’ve rounded up some online platforms that let you order fresh and quality products while supporting local farmers:

Savvy’s

Savvy’s is an online palengke that aims to streamline the purchasing of essential goods, like fresh produce and grocery items, through a safe and effective system. All their items are palengke-priced!

The Green Grocer

The Green Grocer is Manila’s first organic produce delivery. Goods are delivered straight from farms in Bukidnon, Tagaytay, Batangas, Laguna, Benguet, and Negros.
