It will be open for business starting Monday, April 6 at the Lambingan Ferry Station in front of Thomas Earnshaw Elementary School, within the area of Barangays 896 and 897. It will also be at J. Posadas Street near Road 2, Punta, Sta. Ana, within the areas of Barangays 903 and 905.

The stores open at 7:00 am.

Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso said the project aims to connect farmers directly to consumers without the need for a middle man. This means farm products will be offered to consumers at very low prices.
