camillenparadise Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Where would one buy a whole crate of raspberries BEFORE they are put into the plastic cups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 At one of the farms near Jocotepec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Or when the local lads arrive with them to sell... I watch them putting the berries into the cups from their crates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sounds like a good plan. The people next to Superlake most days... in front of the liquor store if you can't find any one else. They have crate fulls. Sort and put in the plastic cups almost every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 If you are willing to drive to Joco and into the raspberry fields bringing your own containers you can purchase any quantity of less than perfect berries for the price of a couple of containers at Super Lake or the street vendors direct from the pickers and picked within the last hour or so.

camillenparadise Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'll be leaving Las Fuentes in a couple of weeks headed home to the beach. I would like to buy a pristine crate near Joco and split it with friends when I arrive, but I need perfect berries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 The perfect berries are shipped to the United States Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Artsnob is correct and they are put into the plastic containers on site where they pick them. I was speaking of the ones that are not selected to go in the plastic for overseas shipping. They are not allowed to sell the perfect ones, therefore you will be paying full retail price somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 They may not be perfect...but they're perfectly delicious! Make sure you bring a water proof container... they juice big time and need to be eaten SOON!...but good? Oh yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
