Yesterday I went to a place on the island called Redland Farms. Someone had told me that you could get fresh vegetables and fruits there and that they were a lot cheaper than the supermarkets. So, I looked up the number in the phone book - called them - asked for directions. OK, here are the directions I received,"up ABC highway to the Clyde Walker Roundabout, take a right turn there and then take the next right turn, and then go straight a ways, then go through the next roundabout, then go straight some more and when you get to the W - go straight through and then the Farm is about 1500 meters on down - can't miss it!"
Well, folks - I got there! I am actually proud of myself for doing this. I actually didn't get lost until the W and that was because they failed to tell me at one fork in the road that I was to stay right towards Bathsheba. I am beginning to get the hang of directions around here. When they say follow through - it means go straight, or to go right when there is a decision to make. :-)
Anyway, I got to this Redland Farms - it was absolutely beautiful there. It is in St. John parish. It is in the countryside - with big palm trees and other large trees that have been there for a long time. I would love to be able to tour that facility sometime. There was a shop that said "Redland Shop Store" - so, I figured that was where I needed to go into to get the vegetables.
It turns out this place only sells what is grown by their farm or on the island. I learned
tomatoes don't grow in the rainy season
