Rogues in ParadiseChapter #9 The Farmers Market -Luc the French Baker
Chapter 9
tells the story of how Billy the Irish man
established Hastings Farmers Market
local market and witnessed it
progress past his
expectations. It is a very
multi-cultural gathering of
delightful characters.
In
this story of Chapter 9, Luc, the French
Baker, shares his story of coming to Barbados and setting
up his bakery. He produces some of the best french
bread you will find anywhere- My favorite is his
sourdough.
Luc is not alone, there are about a dozen
artisans who add to
the narrative with their own colourful
experiences. It is a mini-United Nations
with vendors from all over mingling with visitors from everywhere.
Hastings Farmers Market stands just off the
South Coast Boardwalk, a favourite place to walk along the
ocean, with its changing tides, wind-blown sand mounds,
waves, surf, and weather. People amble,
jog, stop to stare, or run along for their daily
exercise. Tropical plants, sea grapes, spider lilies, yuka,
sea cabbage, ferns, and ground cover create a
magical natural experience. In the
center of the boardwalk is the bandstand. From there, and on either
side, one can see the bright pink Santa Neta apartments, the ArtSplash
Learning Center, a patio cafe, and the farmers market.
