Nice article, I enjoyed reading it. Having a veggie garden myself I know what a pleasure it is to be able to grow some of our own food. Nothing like walking out at dinner time and cutting some squash, or eggplant, etc.

Thnx!

That is a neat article. I have seen the produce at the roadside stands on St. Thomas and it always looks really good. I wish they had stands like that on St. John.

Last trip I noticed that there is someone selling vegetables out of the back of a truck on Centerline, next to that food trailer--I can't remember the name of it. Has anyone stopped there for vegetables? I'd be curious as to the quality and prices.

The stands you see on the waterfront, and the one near Redhook (if it is still there) can be very hit or miss - and - a lot of the produce is actually coming from the states anyway! You can always ask what is local or not - there is some local seasonal stuff that is great, but there is never very much of it.

Good fruit and vegetables (non-local) are so tough on the islands - the stuff always has to come that extra mile, and the market is so small.

Just wanted to get this up the page again in case anyone missed it -
Thanks
