Agrifest 2012

Agricultural Fair 2012
This is an annual agricultural fair where farmers and small businesses from all over the Caribbean set up their goods and sell anything from handmade local jewelry to Kallaloo to plants and self-written books. As usual, it did not disappoint!
We sampled some "Cane Fruit" or "Sugar Cane Fig" (second photo) which was very interesting. The flesh was stringy like sugar cane, but it was slightly more tart in flavor. Interesting to say the least.
We also saw lots of farm animals that the local farmers brought along, including the fattest rabbit I've EVER seen (photo 4)!
All in all a great day - I bought some really funky Afgan-style pants as well as a bunch of plants to add to our garden including lemon grass and chives.
