Chapter Nine Hasting Farmers Market -Pâtisserie Luc
Chapter 9 starts with the story of how Billy the Irish man started Hastings Farmers Market marketplace and saw it grow past his hopes. It is a multi-cultural venue of delightful characters.
In this story of Chapter 9, Luc, the French Baker, shares his story of coming to Barbados and starting a 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 vendors who enhance the experience with their own colourful character. It is a mini-United Nations with artisans who are Bajan, French, Britsih and others mingling with visitors from everywhere.
Hastings Market located beside the South Coast Boardwalk, a favourite place to stroll along the seashore. People from all walks of life 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 mystical 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.
