Next to Pearls and Moya, but a different character entirely. The protection of the mangroves has ended; Meadows is entirely exposed to the Atlantic winds. And, like Hope, this farm rolls over a topsy-turvy tangle of terroirs; an undulating smorgasbord of aspects, exposures, soil types and water retention levels. Where laterite pokes through, as in other farms, the ground is both raised and freer-draining, with wind rushing up the elevation to salt-scorch the higher-lying cane; where clay dominates the land is lower and the cane lusher. Sandy areas are different again. Not a farm easily summarised or generalised, but one which offers a salivating prospect for multi-terroir exploration of flavour.
Meadows Farm sits in an area of Grenada known as Pearls. Pearls is a large coastal village in the parish of St Andrew that is best known for the now abandoned Pearls Airport, the island’s first airport since closed to air travel after 1984 with the opening of the Maurice Bishop International Airport at Point Salines. It is also known for the extensive and important Amerindian site that was practically destroyed in the construction of the runway. Ruins of two airplanes (Cuban and Russian) sit abandoned and attract visitors as a reminder of the Cold War and the US invasion of Grenada in 1983. On its eastern show is the Pearls Beach.
