Rotoava's main fruit-and-vegetable stand on the main street. Its shelves fill within hours of the weekly ship and can sit empty in between.
Practical
Noonsite (2025): the major fruit and vegetable stand, just south of the grocery and bakery and across the street from Top Dive; the owner puts produce out soon after the Cobia 3 docks (weekly, Wednesdays). Soggy Paws lists the earlier owner Sophie (ph +689 87 32 56 78, fakafaapu@hotmail.fr; pre-orders) but reported in June 2022 that she was out of business. For lettuce, they suggested Lindsey on WhatsApp, +689 87 22 08 07 (2022). In April 2024 most backyard growers had stopped, so ask around. Coordinate approx: placed at Top Dive (OSM), which the stand faces.
