“The contestants really
enjoyed themselves. I felt honored to have the ladies on the farm and show them
around. It was one of my most exciting tours. I showed them a kind of farming
we once did in North Caicos but more modern, and showed them that there is
loads of potential to grow food in North Caicos.” said Pastor Courtney Missick.
