My favorite place on St. John to have breakfast at on the weekend is the Donkey Diner. The Donkey Diner is a little ‘mom and pop’ restaurant located in Coral Bay across from the Guy Benjamin Elementary School. They have a nice relaxed atmosphere with the local newspaper always available, book exchange shelf, games, colorfully painted picnic tables, and there is always a show of wild creatures in the backyard of chickens, goats, or donkeys. Both the tourists and the locals come here to eat. This last Sunday I had the oh so yummy Coffee n’ Hash Special and Eric had the Eggs Benedict Special.

During season the Donkey Diner is open everyday for breakfast. I recommend calling them if it is off season at 340 693 5240 or visiting their website at http://www.donkeydiner.com/

Today my friend Sarah and I visited the only commercial organic farm  on St. John called Coral Bay Organic Farm. If you have ever been on island I'm sure you have heard of Josephine's Greens. They are the only lettuce greens in the market that look amazingly fresh and are featured on most restaurant menus. 

The Coral Bay Organic Farm has 98 different species of plants and over 30 different types of greens growing on 18 acres of land in a small valley on the East Side of St. John. We where able to walk around the farm to see how Josephine grows her garden and make a few photographs. They are open everyday except Monday from 11 am to 4 pm. I highly recommend stopping by to pick up some of her delicious organic greens for a salad and taking a tour of how a garden is grown in the US Virgin Islands.















Coral Bay Organic Farm is located on the same road as the Love City Market. If you see the sign that reads "Tourist info: You Are Lost" - this means you're almost at Josephine's.
