Barbuda - Shopping

There are several shops that sell groceries and fresh food. All supplies come by boat or by plane from various places via Antigua. The best time to look for fruit and vegetables is when the boat comes in on Friday or Saturday. Many people sell their own produce at different times throughout the year and this is when the best organically-grown produce is available.
Fish is brought in at the Lagoon wharf nearly every day in good weather. Locally-produced meat is often for sale from a table on the street. There are several variety stores selling all kinds of essential household items and clothes, many of them have gifts and t-shirts. There is a small craft center where local handicrafts are for sale to
visitors and an ArtCafe where visitors are welcome to read information about the island, buy a map or seek advice. This is the home of the artist, Claire Frank, who specializes in hand-painted silk pictures and
cards.
