If location were no deterrent, where would you provision in person for fruits, vegetables, meats, wine etc? We're staying 2 nights pre-charter at Scrub and will need to taxi from Scrub to Nanny Cay for our sleep aboard. We could stop anywhere along the way to pick up our fresh stuff (having water, paper products, etc. pre-ordered & delivered to the boat). Our experience with the big Riteway has been less than stellar the last two trips (March & Nov 2015) - basically cleaned out on a Saturday night. Any suggestions?

"basically cleaned out on a Saturday night. Any suggestions? "
With the number of charters that start on Saturday, there is the problem. Between the local population doing their shopping and the charters, not going to be much of a selection on a Saturday night (or Sunday either).

I'll second Good Moon Farm. We've gotten all kinds of local fruit, some were first time experiences for us. Wax apples and plum roses were a hit. Hog plums, not so much. We get genip, tamarind, mango and papaya when they are in season.
