- Today's episode is a #WayBackWednesday one. This was filmed on June 1st, 2018. I have so much content and haven't had time to share them all. Will try to post more frequently for you.
My brother Narie took us for a road trip to Point Fortin, early on a Friday morning. We stopped off for a quick breakfast of Aloo Pies, then we took a drive to Clifton Hill Beach, then Aaron's Bakery and our last stop was at the Namdevco Farmers' Market in "Point". The market was amazing!
Lots of fresh produce, crafts, utensils, desserts etc. We did this video before doing the video on the Farmers' Market at Gilbert Park in Couva: • FARMERS' MARKET - Gilb...
The vendors at this location were very hesistant to be shown and have their produce featured, so we didn't get to do a full video. I would still like to say THANK YOU to Mr. Keron Bridgelal who runs the market, and the vendors who let us showcase their produce and items for sale.

Uncle too sweet and the pumpkins look very healthy. It's such hard work being a farmer I cannot express how grateful I am to people like him for feeding the nation, God Bless him and all the other Farmers.
Yes! I have such respect for these farmers who feed the nation ❤ It's why I love visiting all the markets and getting to know the farmers better.
I am from Point Fortin born and bred . Beautiful brought of Trinidad Watching from UK
I enjoy this! My hubby is from there and has been quarantine there currently. Love all nature bounty. Thanks! Nice family. You look like mommy ❤🌹
Wow those herbs really lit me up! What a great resource that farmers market is. I can see why it's Narie's favourite! It's a cook's theme park! :) Big love to all!
Definitely, uncle! A great place for us foodies to wander. Sending love your way! Keep well 🙂
Thanks for showcasing my hometown i really enjoyed it! Beautiful family enjoy and cherish them❤❤

thanks for sharing this trip with us! it was nice seeing the variety of produce the farmer’s market offers. makes me want to visit trini one day!
Glad you like! I hope you can visit and experience it for yourself 🙂
Good morning TOT,
Very heart warming video of my maternal grandfather's hometown and my mother's birthtown. She was delivered at the Point General Hospital in Majica pronounced Mahica. Grandad lived in that neighbourhood and was an oil field worker and a musician (trumpet 🎺) and grandma was a ballroom dancer and dance 💃 instructor among all the other things she did.
I have not been to Point Fortin since I was a child but I am encouraged by your vlog to explore my roots.
Lovely farmers market and very fresh produce by the vendors. That pumpkin was a feast for the eyes and the senses and all of the green produce made me feel healthy.
Thanks for this delightful trip and the reminder of FAMILY unity as displayed with you and your parents and brothers and sister.
Enjoy your Friday and Memorial Day on Monday.
To all of the TOT family who are or were part of the armed forces of this great country and the 🌎Happy Memorial Day in advance. We salute your service.
luv all the rural vids of Trinidad. I am from Grenada and will like to invite you.
Thank you so much for that video. I feeling homesick.
Everything seems so expensive compared to other similar countries with same products and produce. Wonder how people can afford it. Maybe the wages are higher too. I buy some Trini products here in Canada it's fairly cheap example Matouks hot sauce 2.68 and it's very good too .
Enjoyed the video! Miss those long drives to South 🌸
Thank you! Glad to bring back memories
Love the market it's just like this in Guyana buy local, buy fresh. Love your videos sis ❤🇨🇦🇬🇾🇹🇹
Thank you! I'll have to visit Guyana someday

All those fresh healthy vegetables, peppers, seasonings bring tears to my eyes. OMG

What a beautiful and informative video! I'm back after not being active on UA-cam for almost a year. Missed you guys. So glad to see your mum again. A question always on my mind: why does Narie never laugh or smile? Hahaha. Sorry I had to ask that. Tell him I asked!!

Thank you for watching! Yes girl, I love a good road trip. My parents used to take us driving everywhere on the weekend so I just love it. Hope you are feeling much better. Keep smiling 🙂
Taste of Trini ty chic
Loved it so much
Thanks for showing a bit of the South. Very nice video. I grew up in Belmont and Woodbrook, so I only know Port-of-Spain, some of the North East towns and the Western Peninsula. I have been as far south as Couva for a week and to the southwest to Mayaro. Went to Point decades ago for a weekend and the Pitch Lake. I really don't know the south in Trinidad. It is unfortunate that the silt coming up from the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers and the oil spills prevents Trinidad from really have good beaches. I only know Aloo pies with potatoes. How do you make it with a stuffing like in the video? I long to come to Trinidad for about two months to cook my own meals with the fresh fruits and vegetables. Maybe one day. I am very impressed with the standard of the markets that I have seen in the videos in Trinidad. Clean, well organized and inviting.
wow, I know that lady Anna. haven't seen her in thirty years since I moved from Trinidad.
nice video you almost reach my area Palo seco bush love your channel
Thanks! Haven't been there in a while. Will share next time 🙂
