Hastings Market is located beside the South Coast Boardwalk, a popular place to walk
along the seashore, with its changing tides, wind-blown sand
mounds, waves, surf, and weather. People from all walks of life
amble, jog, stop to stare, or pelt along for their
daily workout. Tropical plants, sea grapes, spider lilies,
yuka, sea cabbage, ferns, and shoreline ground cover create a
mystical outdoor
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.
The market is a United Nation of
vendors. Many are Bajans, but there are also
British, Guyanese, Italian, and French, artisans resident in Barbados. About a dozen artisans attend
the market with their crafts, art, and farm goods all grown or made
by hand.
In This Chapter of Rogues in Paradise French Baker Luc, 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 favourite is his sourdough. In addition, there are also many other
farmers and craft people who enhance the story with their
own encounters. In fact, the market is a United Nations of
artisans. There are Bajans, British, French, Guyanese,
and Italian vendors now living and working in Barbados.
Chapter 9 begins with the story of how Billy
the Irish man established the marketplace and
saw it grow beyond
his wildest dreams. Billy's motto is "Try it - its
the only way you will know if it is a good idea and never fear failure.
It is the way you learn."
