Farm Fresh Veggies in the Caribbean

CanouanIsland_Grenadines_RafflesYou can’t get any fresher fruits and vegetables than fresh-picked from your own backyard.  When your backyard is The cuisine at Raffles Canouan in the Grenadines is fresher than ever, thanks to a new hydroponic farm on the resort property. The farm is managed by Sabrina Murphy, who has advanced degrees in both Agronomy and Agroecology, and it is thriving and producing high-density crops simply from efficient use of water and key nutrients.

Each day, ripe vegetables are transported to the resort’s beach bar and  restaurants. Guests can create their own salad with seven variations of lettuce, arugula, watercress, cherry or beefsteak tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, and a variety of herbs.  Growing plans (sorry — that’s a pun I couldn’t resist) include melons and mint.
