Every week, halfway down Oakmill Road in Windsor Park, residents and motorists passing through the area can stop by Orville Richardson for some fish, mangoes, star fruit, breadfruit, onions, broccoli, watermelon, papaya and other produce. .
Richardson, who offers his produce seven days a week from the front of his house, says he pursued the business idea not for himself, but to teach his pre-teen son about the business. In fact, this is the second business venture Richardson is doing with his son, the first being selling lemonade in a much smaller facility.
When asked about the best-selling items from his stall, Richardson said salt fish and breadfruit were among the neighborhood favorites. For these desserts, you can either wait until he cooks the fish and breadfruit or come back later to get it.
In addition to fish, Richardson said he occasionally cooks chicken, however, the amount he ingests varies depending on the customer’s request.
As for how the entrepreneur manages to find the time outside of work to get produce that isn’t grown in his yard, Richardson said he has several contacts with farmers and other people who grow fruit and are willing to offer him a selection of what they have from time to time.

The entrepreneur, a quiet, humble, modest but talented man, is also an artist. One of his well-known works in the Windsor Park community is his participation in painting the basketball court, the vibrant colors of which can best be seen from a drone flying overhead. In addition, he has made at least one public exhibition as an artist, having displayed his artwork in a local business in George Town.
