Organic Farming In Jamaica
By Wellesley Gayle


A few days ago, I got an email from my pal, patron and ardent subscriber, Cherri Black, 'showing off' her husband's freshly reaped fruits and vegetables!

They were absolutely beautiful, even against the fact that they are 100% organic  no chemical fertilizer and no pesticides!

And so an idea popped! 
I should take a trip to the farm and walk with JahB!

And so, with their acceptance, I did!

It was quite an educational tour for me, trust me.

Yes, I could relate to many of the vegetables (and fruits), but there was a number of new learning for me, including...

  1. The 'rat ears' plant
  2. The health benefits of water-grass
  3. How turmeric is grown
  4. Some of the differences between yams
  5. Two popular types of bananas in Jamaica
  6. What a nutmeg tree really looks like, and even,
  7. How to reap a plantain, without removing it from the field :-)

A Wide Array Of Jamaican Fruits And Vegetables 

It is supposed to be a subsistence farm, but with well over twenty five vegetables, fruits, spices and medicinal herbs, I started to wonder if its time for him to export!

Well that was a joke, but he certainly has more (an even more when the harvest full comes) than his immediate family might be able to consume on a normal basis.

There was an abundance of bananas, particularly lacatan and gross mitchell, but there were a number of other growing plants, including...

  1. Sorrel
  2. Gungo peas
  3. Callaloo
  4. Pineapple
  5. Cucumber
  6. Yam
  7. Okra
  8. Sugar Cane
  9. Dasheen
  10. Sweet Potato
  11. Otaheite Apples (Jamaican Apple)
  12. Corn
  13. Breadfruit
  14. StarApple
  15. Coconut
  16. Plantain
  17. Turmeric
  18. Ackee
  19. Lime
  20. Susumber
  21. Pear (Avocado)
  22. Bird Peppers
  23. Scotch Bonnet Peppers
  24. June Plum
  25. Papaya
  26. 'Rat Ears'
  27. Cerasee &
  28. Water Grass herbs

I Should Tell You...

There is a little river that we had to cross to get to the farm and during my visit I noticed a few ducks drifting downstream, and then back up... seems they just came down to say hi to me, but that was beautiful.
