About this experience
*Perfect Time in the Season!* Have you ever seen how your favorite tropical fruits grow? You are invited to visit the coconut, mango, & pineapple plants + exotic fruit like ackee, breadfruit, naseberry, sweetsop & more. All grow "like bananas" in a perfect microclimate 5 minutes up the hill from Negril.
The farm is above the treetops, yet so close to the hottest vacation spots. Where else can you reach out & touch papaya, try fresh sugar cane, see guava flowering, & learn to grow your own pineapple?
After your guided tour & with a complimentary farm-fresh juice in hand, explore on your own, chat with our farmers, or simply enjoy the view from the veranda while we prep a signature fruit plate showcasing Jamaica's amazing tropical produce (included).
You may choose to extend your visit with a farm-to-table meal. Reservations are made in the Viator Message Centre after booking. Choose Farmhouse Jerk Chicken, Ocean Fish Fry, or Ital/Vegan.
We thank our visitors for amazing reviews!

Detailed itinerary
1
Beginning with the large almond tree at the gate, you will be guided around the small but hilly farm - an easy walk at a comfortable pace, with many rest stops. (Bring water!). The farm is designed so you can see as many tropical plants growing as possible within a short distance - accessible for almost everyone, and not too much of a walk in the sun.
Enjoy the shade of the fruit trees, and cool mountain breeze while you discover & learn all about the exotic fruits and flowering plants. Your farmer host is happy to answer all your questions - this is your tour, gardeners! You'll even see tropical "house" plants growing large & bountiful. See, taste, and smell the tropics. You can touch & smell the leaves yourself along the way -and don't worry, you will taste everything!
Before or after the tour, we prepare a delicious array of tropical fruit we've harvested / sourced for you. You can explore on your own or just admire the view from the deck. Everything tastes amazing in the tropics!
What's not included
Authentic Jamaican farm-to-table meals can be reserved in advance, & take place after the tour - contact us in the Viator Message Centre after booking your tour. Beverages are available for purchase.
