Every year, St. Croix hosts the largest agricultural festival in the Territory. AgriFest, is a colorful display of locally produced agricultural products, livestock, arts and crafts, and native cuisine. Taking place over four days, festival-goers can taste, touch and see everything on St. Croix that has to do with agriculture. The fair is held at the Rudolph Shulterbrandt Agricultural Complex in Estate Lower Love. There is a small admission fee to enter, but well worth it! Once inside the fairgrounds, you can make your way through vendors selling a variety of goods and locally made products.

The main exhibit hall houses the farmer’s market where you can browse fruits, vegetables, herbs, and other plants. You will also find exhibits sponsored by St. Croix schools, youth groups, the Virgin Islands Department of Agriculture and the USDA inside the main exhibit hall. In addition to the locally grown produce and food, there is a ton of fun to be had on the AgriFest grounds for you and your family.

Livestock exhibits will be on display in the Frits E. Lawaetz livestock pavilion and at the UVI exhibit area on the ‘Henry Carter’ fairgrounds. They include cattle, pigs, sheep, goats chickens, ducks, rabbits, even emus, peacocks, and other interesting animals, all grown and raised by Virgin Island farmers. Awards are given out for various categories for produce and livestock, but the highest honor is the Farmer of the Year award. For the children, there are donkey cart rides, carnival rides, and a petting zoo. Daily live local music, fashion shows, tasty treats and informative booths are some of the other activities to enjoy.
