Rogues in ParadiseChapter #9 The Farmers Market -Luc the French Baker
Chapter 9
starts with the story of how Billy the Irish man
started Hastings Farmers Market
market and witnessed it
progress past his
hopes. It is a very
multi-cultural venue of
eccentric personalities.
In
this story of Chapter 9, Luc, the French
Baker, shares his story of coming to Barbados and setting
up his bakery. He creates some of the best french
bread you will find anywhere- My choice is his
sourdough.
Luc is not alone, there are about a dozen
crafts people who enhance
the experience with their own colourful
story. It is a mini-United Nations
with artisans who are Bajan,
French, Britsih and others mingling with visitors from everywhere.
The
Hastings Farmers Market located beside the
South Coast Boardwalk, a favourite place to stroll along the
seashore, with its changing tides, wind-blown sand mounds,
waves, surf, and weather. People amble,
jog, stop to stare, or pelt along for their daily
workout. Tropical plants, sea grapes, spider lilies, yuka,
sea cabbage, ferns, and shoreline ground cover create a
magical outside 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.
