Market gardeners Caraïbes

This "jadin peyi ti bou" is a real market with a multitude of local products. It welcomes more and more locals who have become accustomed to this meeting place to stock up on all kinds of local products. You can walk around, in a friendly atmosphere, between the stalls of fruits and vegetables of the farmers of the surroundings, the butcher's truck whose craftsman proposes only local meat, a stand of syrups, punches, crafts... The parking lot is located at the traffic circle of Montebello, near the beach of Viard.

On the 30-hectare site, which is farmed organically, a multitude of fruit trees grow to supply the 2,000 tons of fruit processed each year in this factory founded in 1908 by Baron Pierre Daniel Jullien de Saumery. You can come and visit (with prior reservation) the factory taken over by Royal and which now favors local distribution to understand the transformation process of the fruits, of which the pulp is then incorporated into juices and jams. The visit ends with product tasting.

In the small alley that runs alongside the church of Saint-Henri, in the heart of the village of Anses-d'Arlet, Panier Madras is a pretty yellow and green Creole hut located just a few steps from the sea. The store offers a selection of fruits, vegetables, and seeds (mainly from Martinique and sometimes from elsewhere), but also drinks and other nibbles before going to the nearby beach. On Sundays, you can even buy homemade black pudding, of which the reputation has spread all over the village. We highly recommend them.

This little roadside shack and its charismatic owner, Ron, are well worth a visit. The mouth-watering fruit and vegetables on offer are grown in the back garden, 100% naturally. Pineapple, sapodilla, lemons, ginger, different varieties of banana, coconut water straight from the nut, drunk through a natural straw made by Ron himself... You can even enjoy a coffee made with beans from the garden, roasted on site. Roots-style accommodation and free wifi are available.
