Artisan Markets - Hand Made . Home Grown . Trini Flavored



You know Christmas is fast approaching when it's 9 am and the line to sample the local wines is longer than the one for coffee!   For Trinis this joyous season is a time to prepare traditional fare for family and friends to enjoy as they bustle through the hectic prelude to the holidays.

You don't want to miss the opportunity to check out the wide range of unique products at our Artisan markets starting  with the South Market next Saturday.  You will find hand made organic beauty products, clothing as well as home made food items, sometimes made from home grown garden produce and local wines, ponche de creme and sorrel... pastels from home ground corn....hmmm.

Ponche de Creme - Trinis say it's better than eggnog

    Hey Cathy, I hope I get to visit most of these events but why not check out one or two and share with us? Would love to have you do a review as my guest, all in the name of promoting local organic products.
