Fond St. Jacques is an inland community in the quarter of Soufriere located near the natural rainforest reserves. Given its rich volcanic soil, the community’s main economic drive is agriculture. This community is situated between 300m and 500m above sea-level but surrounded by many steep hills and varied relief within the area which are primarily volcanic features formed from prior lava flows and pyroclastic events. Generally, Fond St. Jacques encompasses several smaller communities such as Ravine Claire, Migny, St. Phillip, Petite Bourgh and Mocha.
