Anyone who wants a real sense of island daily life and subsistence should call Mansa. He'll take you past his fruit trees and herb gardens through rows of tomatoes, cucumbers, string beans, eggplant, zucchini, sweet pepper, melons, and more. Discussing the needs for at least partial organic growing practices, he explains how he adapted traditional folk pesticides and describes the medicinal properties of various plants, cultivated and wild. He'll prepare a lunch utilizing his produce, including delectable refreshing fruit drinks. The weekend barbecues are a highlight. All in all, this agritourism foray redefines food for thought.
