Taste of Jamaica Farm Cookout

He gave us so much information on the community, their churches, farm stands and fruit trees that were growing everywhere! Once we got to the top, he had a tasting set up with mango’s, strawberry bananas and a Jamaican fruit that tasted like tropical candy! After, we were greeted by his family and the cutest dog that my daughter loved! He took us through the herb garden and described each plant. We got to taste fresh fruits from the trees! Before we headed to the back of the farm, they guided my daughter in seasoning the jerk chicken and placing it on the grill! Once we finished we arrived back at the entrance where his family had set up placement’s for dining! My daughter snacked on fresh sugar cane that he cut for her, and he came back out with a trey full of food his family prepared for us! It was amazing! My daughter surprised us both with her ability to eat the fresh pepper sauce! I highly recommend this tour! You will leave feeling fulfilled in your mind, heart and belly!

My husband has a horticultural background so we loved this tour. LaSalles described the herbs growing on the farm and provided information on the health benefits of each. We tasted a variety of Jamaican fruits. And, we ate jerk chicken, rice and beans, plantains, etc. This was a great tour. Very interesting and delicious.

I've been telling everyone I know about this wonderful excursion. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the plants and it was apparent he took pride in what he did. The "cookout" was fantastic, consisting of various foods we had learned about as we drove to the farm. The jerk chicken was delicious too. Afterwards we had an opportunity to purchase teas made from various medicinal plants that the guide had told us about on the tour. I can't say enough good things about this excursion I will do it again if/when I get to Jamaica again.

Dec 13, 2022 This tour was outstanding! The tour van was air conditioned and very clean and comfortable. The ride out was amazingly beautiful, especially Fern Gully, and included hidden secrets in the surrounding hillside. The guide, LeSelle, was extremely proud of his gardens and told us a lot about the plants, people and farm animals of Jamaica. The meal afterwards was beyond delicious and cooked from the plants and herbs in his garden. If you want to learn more about Jamaica THIS IS THE TOUR! Thank you LeSelle!!
