The Anointed Farm is located in McKinnons and is owned and operated by Neil Gomes. From a very young age, Neil was very interested in nature and plants.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This accelerated in secondary school when he was exposed to Agricultural Science.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0He was one of the stalwarts in the Agriscience program at the Ottos Comprehensive School and even had a backyard garden at home.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The farm is approximately ten (10) acres and for almost thirty (30) years, Farmer Gomes has been growing produce such as onions, pumpkins, seasoning peppers, cabbages, tomatoes, lettuce, and melons.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He has always been one of the top farmers in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI won farmer of the year award in 1997, I was judged the top farmer of Antigua & Barbuda, I\u2019ve always been in the top ten farmers since I started,\u201d Gomes said.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His work in agriculture has not been restricted to crop production but additionally, he has represented Antigua & Barbuda in regional meetings, conferences, and workshops and sat on several advisory committees.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, he was the proud recipient of the FAO award presented to him by Minister Samantha Marshall for his sterling contribution to Agriculture.<\/span><\/p>
