There is no slowing down for retired school teacher Miriam Samuel, as she approaches her 90th birthday. Having taught at nine schools throughout her career, she embraced entrepreneurship 30 years ago, when she retired from the classroom and opened her own bakery.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

But her golden years have not just been about rest, relaxation and reflection; this has also been a time for her to become innovative. Grandma Mirie, a self-described \u201cseniorpreneur,\u201d has become a role model for her family and community. She developed Screw Pine, a small business that offers more than 90 different agri-products. This includes a variety of jams, jellies, wines, teas, soaps, body oils, beverages, farine, breads and more. Her products offer a sense of nostalgia, incorporating many familiar flavors and aromas of Antigua and Barbuda. Most of the ingredients used in Samuel\u2019s product line are grown in her own backyard garden or sourced from friends.<\/p>\n

Samuel\u2019s vibrant cottage industry showcases Antiguan and\u00a0 Barbudan products to the world, while creating an opportunity for locals abroad to transport a taste of home. As part of her grand Birthday celebration, the Samuel family is planning an official brand launch to showcase their matriarch\u2019s range of products and share her faith, passion and knowledge throughout the community.<\/p>

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