In today’s On-StJohn TV interview, find out where all the great produce many of St. John’s restaurants use comes from. Meet Hugo and Josephine Roller and tour their organic farm, below!

    It’s one of the first places we go so we can get a bag of mixed greens and the gardens are so pretty

    This may be your best work to date! Very interesting. I hope they continue to be successful. It is nice to hear about a business that is concerned about the environment and manages to serve other island businesses.

    I love Hugo and Josephine, and their kids are the same…….just very wise and conscious of the way of the world.
    Hugo also is a very passioned writer when he does letters to the editor at Tradewinds.
    I wish them all the success in the world..

    I believe that the Lime Inn uses their produce too. The Wasabi lettuce is awesome. Thanks for sharing their story.
