Labone Green Market

Accra


Health conscious Ghanaians and expats alike fancy this weekly farmer-style market to top up on organically grown fruits and vegetables. There is also plenty of other treats on display, ranging from vegan sausages, home-made lasagne and soaps full of local herbs. It's all conveniently on sale in the shade under the big trees in front of the Labone Coffee Shop.
