An Organic Movement in Barbados- Holders Farmers Market

Such a great initiative is being developed in Barbados which is stressing the importance of not only eating organic and fresh but also creating a healthy lifestyle on a whole. So what is this you wonder...we are talking about Holders Farmers Market! This farmers market is like no other in Barbados and we at Loop Barbados support it to the fullest. Holders Farmers Market will commence on the 6th November, 2011 and will continue every Sunday from 9 AM to 2 PM. The market is located at the historic and well known Holders House, Holders Hill, St. James, where you can come to buy your organic produce, discover the benefits of holistic massages and explore the market and what it has to offer at your own pace.

Just to give you a little insight on the inspiration behind the market, Mark and Jack recognized the importance of eating raw, organic foods and how these foods aid in the combat against diseases such as diabetes and cancer. In turn, they also are very passionate about supporting the local farmers on the island and trying to encourage more people to buy locally, which benefits everyone at the end of the day. Basically if you buy organic from Holders Farmers Market, you are eating healthier, supporting the local agricultural industry and your pocket will thank you, as the pricing of the produce will be less than the supermarket's imported produce. What more could you want?

Customers will be able to have a full and authentic experience of what a farmers market is all about. There will be a great variety of vendors at the market -from the Healing Holistic Center offering massages and reflexology to local vendors offering fruits, vegetables, arts and crafts, sausages, cheeses and much more - there is something for everyone! To get some more general information on Holders Farmers Market you can take a look at their Frequently Asked Questions.
