The territory may be filled with plenty of mango trees, but Michelle Todman knew very little about the tropical fruit — at least until Friday.
The event attracted about a dozen vendors, who displayed fresh farm produce, as well as various products made from mango.
As Ms. Todman and other participants perused the items on sale, DJ Lloyd, a senior from Brewers Bay, played old-school music through loudspeakers erected in front of the stage.
“It’s really pretty,” Ms. Todman said of the display of fruits. “I also like the fact that they have a lot of fresh produce, juices and products.”
She bought kidney mangoes and grafted mangoes from Enid Maximea, one of several farmers at the event.
“I don’t remember the taste of [kidney mangoes] but I really like these [grafted] ones,” she said. “I plan to eat them as quickly as possible. They are just delicious.”
