Practical LuxuryAnguillan Resort and Hydroponic Farm
The trend-setting farm will produce fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, peppers and eggplant in a region that relies heavily on daily imports of produce from abroad. Hydroponics is the state-of-the-art process of growing plants without soil in nutrient-infused water
The lush landscape motif, a virtual botanical oasis, calls for 37,000 plants with more than 150 species of trees, flowers and shrubs. Varied dining venues include the Santorini Restaurant, with an extensive wine cellar, offering a Mediterranean cuisine mixed with the flamboyant flavors and spices of the Caribbean. Executive Chef Denis Jaricot most recently served as Executive Chef at the Four Seasons Hotel’s Truffles Restaurant which was rated the number one restaurant in Toronto by Gourmet Magazine for three consecutive years.
