Also, at the event spotted supporting the launch were Sen. Marise James and Commissioner of the V.I. Agriculture Department Louis Petersen. James said that she came off the plane straight to Cost U Less to support the girls and even snagged a couple of different flavors. Peterson also took the time to taste some flavors and provided some words.
“I want to commend you for your latest achievement, and I say latest achievement because I’ve noticed over the past several years they have been going from success to success and today is another one of those,” said Petersen.
“I want to make sure I commend Cost U Less for opening their doors to our farmers as value added producers and I want to encourage them to continue to keep their doors open,” he continued.
Petersen encouraged the family to continue the path of success by stating, “Not just their own success, but the success of the agricultural industry in the territory and to be good role models for all producers and farmers here. This is the model you want to talk about,” Petersen said.
He also took a moment to sample all the flavors and said, “All those creative blends made me feel so good. I want to encourage both of you to be our next generation of entrepreneurs in the territory,” Petersen said.
