A world of options for your garden
Carabao Mercado is more than just an online store; it's a place where dreams of tropical living come true. We curate an extensive collection of tropical fruit bearing plants as well as beautiful and colourful tropical plants, carefully selected to cater to diverse tastes and preferences. From growing your own bananas to colourful tropical foliage, our range spans the spectrum of tropical aesthetics.
Quality that lasts
We believe in quality that endures through the changing seasons. That's why we source our plants from quality Canadian nurseries who share our commitment to healthy and sustainable plants.
Our Roots
Our journey is a beautiful tapestry woven from the threads of diverse cultures and shared passions. It all began with a Canadian farm boy and a spirited Filipina, united by their love for the land and the vibrant flavours it offers. Nestled in the heart of Lethbridge County, we initially set out to create a space that celebrates the bounty of fresh, locally grown Asian produce, from Ampalaya (bitter melon) to kangkong (water spinach).
After building our first greenhouse we soon realized that our love for tropical fruit was influencing our business direction. We started adding banana, citrus and passion fruit plants to our tropical growing environment and they exploded with huge lush growth. This addition made us realize that we had been missing out on quality home grown tropical fruit and wanted to make it easier for other Canadians to enjoy the same in their own homes, gardens and greenhouses.
