Ins & Outs of Barbados 2023

69 Island Adventures At Coco Hill Forest we use coconut palms as our base crop and intercrop with bananas, cocoa, ginger and turmeric. We also use them for carbon sequestration and as a regenerative tree to mitigate soil erosion challenges at the Forest. We are growing mostly tall coconuts for their by-products such as coconut milk, oil and flour. Coco Hill Forest is trying to create a sustainable linkage between agriculture, agro- processing and tourism. We work with other coconut farmers, producers and the government sector to promote coconut as a sustainable crop that can help our food security challenges. Our initiative was described by the Executive Director of the International Trade Center (ITC), Pamela Coke-Hamilton as “frankly one of the most amazing I have seen in my travels with respect to the Alliance for Action Project.

It is agriculture, geography, history and forest bathing in one experience. Hikes are both guided or self-guided. Turmeric at Coco Hill Forest Martin's Bay Coco Hill Forest Coconut Milk Tent Bay
