Where do I shop for food?

You will find several convenience type stores locally, with one about a 4 minute walk from the house. A&O Convience in the bright yellow building at the top of our road. Most of these stores will sell the basics: eggs,( eggs are not refrigerated, you must ask for them at the counter) milk, butter, cheese, canned goods, some fresh products. You will not find sliced bread, the local bread looks like a long sub type bread.

On most days, in the villages of Calibishie, you will find road side stands selling local fruits and vegitables. On the weekends, there is usually a little market on the platform, oceanside, also acts as a bus stand.

For any supermarket type stores, you will have to drive to Roseau or Ports Mouth. If you are arriving by ferry, we strongly suggest doing your grocery shopping in the port at Fresh Market grocery store befor you journey to Calibishie.

Keep in mind, everything that isn’t grown or produced locally has to be flown in or shipped in to the island, and price will reflect this.
