点评:If you can tear yourself away from Eleuthera's spectacular beaches, we highly recommend visit to one of the few remaining pineapple farms. The fruit used to be a major contributor to the local economy before competition from global corporations made it less profitable. But multigenerational farmer Mr Russel - who leads the tours - is still producing the unique "sugarloaf" Eleuthera's variety. He extremely knowledgeable as well as personable and patient; and more than willing to help with picture taking! His farm operations, which strictly follow sustainability principles, a multitude of fruits, vegetables, herbs and medicinal plants, and even flowers (hibiscus of astonishing colors!). The pineapples were not in season, but we left with samples of several other farm products. A very worthwhile detour (and only a few miles away from other major island sights, like the Queen's Baths, the Glass Window Bridge, and the Cliffs).
