Where to find tropical fruit in St John USVI

[RS]

Wanted to check if anyone has recommended markets or farm stands for local fruit in St John?

We found the woman setup in front of Connections at Cruz Bay (soursop and tamarind this time of year), and Coral Bay organic farm (had no fruit). The grocery stores seem to have imported fruit.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: also found the tropical fruit garden at Annaberg sugar mill ruins

Quick recap for future reference and in case helpful for others visiting USVI National Park.

- Annaberg ruins tropical fruit garden (weekdays 10 am - 2 pm): got to taste in-season fruits, fresh sugarcane, pink guava, coconut, gooseberry and pomegranate. The gardener, Charles Jackson, was wonderful, https://newsofstjohn.com/meet-charles-a-st-john-treasure/  Historical bread baking with free samples also here, https://friendsvinp.org/annaberg-cultural-program/

- Fruit stand in front of Connections, Cruz Bay: tried soursop, sour tamarind (incorrectly sold as sweet tamarind) and starfruit. Imported mango, papaya, bananas. Ridiculously high prices (buy at grocery store instead).

- Coral Bay organic farm: no fresh fruit (starfruit and papayas just ended) but worth checking what's in season.

- Susannaberg ruins: numerous fruiting soursop trees, small banana orchard.

- Cinnamon bay ruins: no fruit this time of year, but mammee apple, mango, cocao, bay rum, calabash grow on-site with tree placards on the nature trail.

Also tried sea grapes for first time (huge seed, tasted similar to raisins) and fresh noni fruit These were plentiful along roadsides and beaches.

Too bad you couldn't have a Mammee Apple, RS! What did you think of Noni?

Hard to say which was better, the smell or taste of ripe noni! I had noni juice years ago and the fresh flavor wasn't entirely a surprise; just a bit more pungent than the juice.

Forgot to include the fresh bread at Annaberg ruins was coconut bread and a delicious mango tea was also served. Would love to go back sometime.
