The BEST produce on St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands!
Visit the farm fresh, open air market in beautiful downtown Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas.
See the fantastic items that the island vendors have to offer - everything from fresh nutmeg, cinnamon and mauby to fresh fruits like soursop, mangoes and genips.
The downtown open air market has been open for generations.
As we’re exploring the island’s best produce we will then segue to The Fruit Bowl, just a short road trip from Charlotte Amalie to check out excellent organic food choices plus all the local and international fruits and veggies that The Fruit Bowl has to offer!
Much of the fresh produce featured is grown here locally by Francis Commercial Farming. As you'll see Francis is Da Place for the freshest coconut water and coconut oil around.

    I spent some of my childhood on St. thomas, north side on hull bay rd. E&m market was the coolest little store! I came back in 2021 for a week and i can't wait to get back! Me and the fiance are planning to come down this coming year! And after watching your carnival video i think it's gonna be that week! Love the videos and would love to run into you when we're there! Keep up the good work! And thank you for giving me plenty of videos of. My "home" 😊

      I moved here in 1965. As to CUL's current prices, I'll certainly agree with you that they've increased substantially over the past year or so unfortunately. However, compared to elsewhere on the island, I still believe they're the best bet overall. If you know a better option, please let me know and I'll check it out.

    • @GoGrumpy
      @GoGrumpy 5 місяців тому

      Hello again and thank you for the opertunity to interact. Yep, I as you say, was a white boy of 15 when we moved here in 1965. Among a hand full of jobs over the years I worked for Antilies Air Boats as an apprentice mechanic. Daily News as Circ Mgr and started the Source online publication, which you may know, just to name a few. Funny thing.. Growing up and raising children here we really never thought of ourselves as white or non. It was always a small community. We all lived together, respected each other and got along just fine. If you live here on St Thomas, there's a pretty good chance you or your family knows me or my family members. My wife (or should I say Ex-wife) was one of the first employees at CostUless when they first opened at the original location, back in the day. My sister, now retired was the airport manager for years. My brother in-law, now retired was the chief at the airport "crash house" fire station. My other sister worked with Head Start. My mother worked as a nurse at the old Knud Hansen Hospital and then in her later years for Human Resources at the Employment office.. I'd be happy to meet you and share some stories and a pate at Jackies.. I'm always interested in learning from people who are, in- the-know of our island, just like you. Please be sure to keep watching the channel and I'll do my best to listen and learn. Hope you and your family stay safe and dry, if Ernesto visits us tomorrow. If your're out and about, perhaps you'll see me trying to get my propane tank filled at Antillies and getting some footage.. Just watch for the old white mon... Grumpy

      Thanks for your feed-back. The video was based on my my opinion. Been going to Neltjeberg for over 50 years now and it still stands out to me. I go down to Magen's most mornings for a walk and swim. Great way to start the day. By the way, you may already know it's free if you go before 7am. We locals also can get a deep-discounted anytime pass. I used to go to Stumpy often. Great for a beach dive. A good spearfishing site too. The beach is a preety rocky though for my taste. Yes, we are lucky to have so many great beach options. However, at the moment I'm getting the house ready for Ernesto's arrival tomorrow. It seems to be tracking very similar to Marilyn back in-the-day. Right between STT and STX. And that was supposed to be just a Trropical Storm too. Yep, lost the house in that one. One thing about when a heavy storm does hit, folks are tripping over themselves to go out of their way to help anyone and everyone PERIOD! Just filled up my generator tanks and the car. I'm ready. Be sure to check back soon.. Grumpy
