In a country where tourism ranks the highest in terms of contribution to the economy, Barbados benefits from approximately half a million visitors each year and the Peg Farm and Nature Reserve offers a unique mixture of glamorous camping and farm life to tourists.
Barbados’ most recent touristy event was held just over a month ago when glasses were clinking at their Food and Rum Festival and now, they are getting ready to celebrate again this weekend for the Run Barbados Marathon Series and Hennessey Artistry. While tourists arrive here for the sun and beaches, those with interest in nature, organic menus and agriculture head to Peg Farm and Nature Reserve.
Among selected media from the Caribbean and further afield, Stabroek News got the privilege of a firsthand experience through the Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc with a visit to this biodynamic farm. We were welcomed by a barefooted Paul Bourne, owner of Peg Farm who gave us a tour of the nature reserve and farms.
