Chapter #9 The Market -Luc the French Baker

Chapter 9 tells the story of how Billy the Irish man started Hastings Farmers Market local market and witnessed it expand  past his expectations.  It is a multi-ethnic gathering of delightful personalities.

In this chapter 9 story Luc, the French Baker, shares his story of coming to Barbados and setting up his bakery. He makes 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 enliven the experience with their own colourful story. It is a mini-United Nations with crafts people from all over mingling with visitors from everywhere.

Hastings Farmers Market stands beside the South Coast Boardwalk, a favourite place to stroll along the ocean, with its changing tides, wind-blown sand mounds, waves, surf, and weather. People from all walks of life amble, jog, stop to stare, or sprint along for their daily workout. 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 Hastings market.
