AN ESTATE PLAN

摘要

AS SHE WELCOMES more than 30,000 visitors a year to her family's Belmont Estate on Grenada, owner Shadel Nyack Compton takes great joy in seeing them retrace her childhood wanderings through the verdant grounds of the 17th-century plantation. "My grandparents allowed us to explore every nook and cranny of the estate," she says. "I loved strolling through the acres of cocoa and nutmeg trees." f During the past 12 years, Nyack Compton has transformed what was a struggling agricultural concern into an agritourism destination, earning recognition as one of the Caribbean's top entrepreneurs in the process. The estate indulges the senses with lush gardens, organic chocolates made on-site (a tree-to-bar tour explains the process) and Creole specialties such as callaloo soup served in the farm-to-table restaurant.
