While sharing glimpses of this visit on his official Facebook account, Premier Brantley said, “As we continue to see investors entering Nevis and adding value to our economic landscape, I had the chance to visit Vanilla Paradise Nevis.”

The Premier also encouraged the citizens and residents who have not yet visited the farm to take a trip there soon and emphasized, “I assure you that you won’t be disappointed. Huge congratulations to Gina and her team, and thank you for your confidence in Nevis and your investment in our island. I wish this project every success.”
