Rogues Chapter #9 The Farmers Market -Luc the French Baker

The chapter starts with the story of how Billy the Irish man started Hastings Farmers Market marketplace and saw it progress  beyond his expectations.  It is a very multi-cultural venue of extraordinary personalities.

In this story of Chapter 9, 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 artisans who enhance the day with their own colourful character. It is a mini-United Nations with vendors who are Bajan, French, Britsih and others mingling with visitors from everywhere.

Hastings Farmers Market is just off 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 amble, jog, stop to stare, or race along for their daily exercise. 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.
