Long before modern Sint Maarten bustled with markets and cruise ships, this island was a wild, fertile land—discovered by European explorers in the 15th century and forever changed by the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in the 1600s. Those early centuries were marked by hardship and resilience. The enslaved built the very walls and fields that still shape the landscape, carrying with them knowledge of farming, healing, and survival that would nourish generations to come.

At the heart of this legacy stands Plantation Succour. Its name, “Succour,” means “aid” or “relief”—a fitting symbol for a place that once witnessed suffering, but now rises as a beacon of hope and renewal. For centuries, Succour was a site of forced labor and colonial exploitation. Today, we honor that difficult history by transforming the land into a source of empowerment, healing, and community-driven abundance.

Reviving Plantation Succour is about more than restoring old fields—it’s about restoring dignity, memory, and opportunity to Sint Maarten. This is where the past meets the future: every seed planted is an act of remembrance and a promise of better days ahead.

With new agricultural developments, sustainable farming, and community programs, Succour has the potential to feed a significant percentage of Sint Maarten’s population. Imagine a future where local families enjoy fresh, homegrown food, where children learn from the land, and where the island’s food security is no longer at risk from distant supply chains or storms.

Succour is more than a place—it’s a movement. Here, we come together to heal old wounds, celebrate our heritage, and build a resilient, self-reliant Sint Maarten. Join us as we transform history into hope, and land into lasting nourishment for all.
