Our intention is to use the area adjoining the Nature Retreat to the north (Area B on the Approved Nature Reserve Parcellation) in part to support and foster community enterprise. Further consultation is needed with community members to determine the exact focus, but the current thinking is to develop a Saturday and/or Sunday Toco Green Market, which would provide a service to both the local communities and the many weekend visitors to the area. It would mean that local farmers have an outlet for their produce and local shops have access to fresh produce, without either of them having to travel to the markets in Port of Spain or Macoya. It would also facilitate the sale of local art and craft and provide an opportunity for local community members to showcase their rich culinary skills.
