Anronat Farm

I leave this listing in memory of Mr. Andrew Royer, well known throughout the Caribbean for his promotion of organic agriculture and sustainable living as well as the small farmer. In 1981 he was awarded a silver medal by the FAO for his work in food production. His farm was a training center to people from all over the world and one of the few places in Dominica where you could see biogas production in operation. Unfortunately the farm is not open for farm tours or sales at this time, but I wanted to recognize Mr. Royer for his tireless efforts in promoting organic agriculture over the years.
