my friend simone just launched tci organics in turks and caicos (only providenciales, for now), more or less like the csa subscription in the us – all fruits and vegetables are organic – but because we barely have any local agriculture, all produce is brought in from the dominican republic, an island that is so close to us and have so many rich fruits and vegetables.

i know i’ve posted about parrot cay before but i don’t think i will ever get tired of visiting this beautiful island – we are so lucky to be a 20 minute boat ride away, and every reason to celebrate, we’re there!

here are a few things that i like and don’t like about living in turks and caicos with a baby Continue reading
occasionally, i get asked by readers and visiting friends – what souvenirs can we take home from turks and caicos, something typical from the islands that will remind us of our stay? other than a conch, i love these colorful handmade baskets, made in turks and caicos. you can find them at anna’s art gallery in providenciales or at daniel’s cafe in middle caicos.
