After years of vision, planning, and community collaboration, Food Farm Gardens (FFG) is thrilled to announce the official launch of our Community Garden and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program at historic Plantation Succour, starting January 2026. This is more than a garden—this is a movement for food sovereignty, resilience, and hope for every resident of our island.
For decades, Sint Maarten has depended on imported food—leaving us vulnerable to high prices, supply chain disruptions, and empty shelves after storms. FFG’s community garden is the largest and most inclusive initiative of its kind in our region, offering affordable plots, education, and fresh, local produce to families, schools, organizations, and aspiring farmers alike.
This is a park, a classroom, a marketplace, and a sanctuary all in one.
Children – Engage with nature, learn where food comes from, and develop lifelong healthy habits – School field trips and hands-on learning make education fun and meaningful
Teenagers – Build teamwork, leadership, and practical skills – Gain confidence and a sense of purpose through real-world experience – Safe, positive space for youth to grow and connect
Young Adults – Launch agri-businesses, participate in the CSA, or gain skills for green careers – FFG is a launchpad for entrepreneurship, innovation, and climate action
Adults – Save money, reduce stress, and connect with neighbors – Share knowledge, harvests, and a sense of purpose – Practical workshops for home gardening, composting, and sustainable living
Seniors – Stay active and engaged while sharing wisdom with younger generations – Enjoy the therapeutic benefits of gardening and being outdoors – Belong to a supportive, intergenerational community
This is not just a garden. This is Sint Maarten’s future—rooted in community, sustainability, and pride.
Food Farm Gardens proves that large-scale community gardening is possible—and powerful. If you own land, big or small, we encourage you to follow this example. Imagine the impact if more landowners opened their gates to community food production! Together, we can transform Sint Maarten’s landscape, empower our people, and secure our food future for generations to come.
Membership is required to rent an allotment. Choose what works for you:
CSA members receive a (bi)weekly box of the island’s freshest vegetables, grown with care by local farmers and community members.
We’re at a turning point. Food Farm Gardens is more than a project—it’s a movement to reclaim our food independence, restore our land, and build a stronger, more connected Sint Maarten. Whether you’re a family wanting to grow your own food, a young person seeking purpose, a senior sharing wisdom, or a landowner ready to lead by example—FFG is for you.
We believe everyone deserves a chance to connect with nature, learn, and be part of Sint Maarten’s food revolution. That’s why we’re introducing simple, affordable daypass options for the FFG Community Gardens—making it easy to visit, explore, and join our movement, whether you’re a local, a tourist, or just garden-curious.
