Flora and Fauna of Jamaica: A Nature Lover’s Guide to Our Farm
If you’re looking for a real taste of Jamaica—literally and naturally—the Taste of Jamaica Farm, Herbal Garden, and Food Tour in Ocho Rios is where it starts. This is more than just a tour. It’s a full-on experience for nature lovers, foodies, and anyone curious about Jamaican culture from the roots up.
Discover Jamaica’s Natural Side
Set in the lush hills of Ocho Rios, our farm is home to a rich variety of Jamaica’s tropical flora and fauna. From towering coconut and banana trees to healing herbs like lemongrass, guinea hen weed, and cerasee, every plant has a story—and a purpose. You’ll walk through our herbal garden, learn how these traditional plants are used in Jamaican life, and even sample fresh-picked herbs in teas and tonics.
Keep an eye out for native birds, butterflies, and the occasional mongoose roaming the grounds. Our guides share insights about Jamaica’s wildlife and ecosystems, making this not just a tour, but an education in living naturally.
A Food Tour That Starts on the Farm
Unlike most food tours, this one begins in the soil. We show you where Jamaican ingredients come from—right on our land. You’ll smell the fresh thyme, taste ripe fruits off the tree, and understand how real Jamaican cooking starts with fresh, local ingredients.
Then it’s time to eat.
Sample traditional dishes prepared on-site, from jerk chicken to callaloo, roasted breadfruit, and more. Every bite tells a story, and every story is seasoned with local flavor.
