The 22nd Annual Bordeaux Farmer’s Rastafari Agricultural & Cultural Vegan Food Fair will be taking place on January 19 & 20, 2018 at the Bordeaux Farmer’s Market on St. Thomas, USVI. Join the FACEBOOK Event to stay updated or check back here for details.
Getting to the Bordeaux AgFair 2019 is as simple as following a main road for 10 minutes. Testing the Google Map I made to help people get there.
For only $4 adults/$2 children, you can spend a day in a part of the Virgin Islands community that has always made me feel like the village lives.
