In order to monitor farmers closely, the administration of the Martelly/Lamothe Government, under a project led by Thomas Jacques, Minister of Agriculture and Natural Resources and Rural Development (MARNDR), decided to open schools.

The development of Haitian agriculture involves empowering people with professional know-how. There is however, a major deficit in resources for agricultural technicians, due to institutional reforms implemented by the Ministry, population, research and training.

To make this system more advanced, a master plan has been put into place, which proposes the creation of a new strategy to revive agricultural education in EMA and training centers.

How this plan will be implemented

• The MARNDR intends to reopen 3 EMAs as of October 2014 in the agro-ecological zones of Dondon. It proposes to do this with support from the following:

1. Ministry of Agriculture of the United States of America

2. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) and

3. The World Bank

• Training courses for these schools will be created in the following areas:

1. (EMAD), the Artibonite Valley

2. EMAVA and

3. Hinche (EMDH)

In view of this, the Directorate of Training and Promotion of Entrepreneurship Agricole (DFPEA), who are responsible for the creation of Ministry of Agriculture, hired 12 agronomists who are to provide this training.

The University of California, UC Davis, met the requirements of the tender advertised by MARNDR and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They thus have the responsibility of providing the training required for this project.

New Florida Bakery Inc is located in little Haiti in Miami. They serve the best patties and Haitian bread in Miami. The food you get here is always fresh and its taste takes you back to Haiti instantly. They serve patties in different flavors like chicken, beef, smoked herring, ground turkey and codfish with good levels of spiciness. Haitian breads are similar to Cuban breads but they are denser and amazingly delicate. Never miss to taste their 'pates' or Pah-tays (as they pronounce). It is the Haitian equivalent of pastelitos made of puff pastry and comes in lobster, beef, smoked herring, and ground turkey or codfish filling (ask for morue). Beef and Lobster pastelitos are fresh, warm, and flaky with delicious spicy minced beef or lobster feelings ($1 each). The fillings are pounded to form a smooth paste that is seasoned with garlic, a pinch of cloves, thyme, and a tingle of heat from just the right amount of scotch bonnet peppers (piman bouk). Haitian cuisine is simple and unpretentious and at the same time it is bold and spicy. Haitian patty is an area of cross-cultural cuisine fusion that demonstrates typical African culinary aesthetic paired with French sophistication. "Pah-tays" is an Anglicization of French word "patisserie" which simply means pastries. Cuban patties are famous for sweet fillings but Haitian patties are differently crust and exclusively savory.

The staffs of New Florida Bakery are well conversant in English, French and Creole. They have a huge parking space. Come here with some extra time in our hand because there is always a line at the counter. It is a "Cash Only" shop where anything you buy is always fresh, perfect and inexpensive. New Florida Bakery is a community institution, the golden standard in Haitian baked food for decades. It is a necessary stop for families after Sunday church because their patties are best when they are fresh out of the oven in the morning.

Found on 219 N. 10th St., The District Coffee House serves up a pour-over coffee experience that is sure to delight even the most exotic coffee connoisseurs. The technique of pour-over coffee involves pouring, a cup at a time, the ground and brewed beverage. Water that is near the boiling point is poured onto fresh grounds in a paper cone, and then the good, rich, black coffee lands in the cup a drip at a time. To make the experience richer, The District often hosts get-togethers where coffee experts come and give a crash course in coffee parlance to the patrons.

The Success Story behind Our Lady Bakery

Located in Del Ray Beach, Our Lady Bakery is run by Haitian-Americans Pierre and Josette Moise. The bakery makes authentic Haitian breads.

The first few years in business were lean and the Moises feared failure. But Pierre sold bread from his van to grocery stores and merchants started ordering. Today bread is delivered to 40 Haitian, Jamaican, and Hispanic grocery stores.

The Moises will open a new store on Southeast First Street with a take-out restaurant in addition to the bakery.
