We are a family farm in St. Mary, Jamaica, West Indies. On our seaside and hillside farms, we make soap, harvest many varieties of fruit from our trees, grow plantain, bananas and vegetables to feed ourselves and our neighbors, hunt wild aromatic herbs for essential oil distillation and keep bees as sustainably as possible in top bar hives. We live and promote economically and environmentally sustainable agriculture in one of the world’s most beautiful places!
Welcome to our farm’s website!
We have so many interesting things planned for 2023 and are very excited by the potential of our new projects. You can visit our Intern Blogs page to read first hand accounts, written by our interns, of daily life here on our farm. We hope you enjoy our site and visit us again for updates in the months ahead.

This has taken me far too long. After visiting Yerba Bueuna months ago, I still remember the whole 2 days in detail- it was the most vivid part of my trip to visit family in Jamaica. I felt alive and at home and I learned so much about the land, the community, and the love. Thank you.

I have interest in possible joint business venture. Using a legal organic Jamaican grown product sold here in the states with proceeds going toward helping common Jamaican start community farms to give Jamaicans more economic stability. 1stly I am not a business man but have a few passions, Jamaica being one of the big ones. I love Jamaican culture, so selfless to the point no one says the word “me”. I have been to the island several times. My goal is to never see a half built house again on the island.

Hi, my name is Latoya I read about your soaps in the gleaner today. I live in Montego bay, St James, how can I get the soaps and what’s the price?
We spent a week on the farm at it was a really great experience! Everyone there is SUPER friendly 🙂 We did not go to work on the farm but rather visit Jamaica and we were not diaspointed. The host could organise lots of activities depending on the weather and is always of great help if you have any question! The farm and bedroom we were in were great too! Lots of space and great views of the ocean! We hope to go back there when we visit Jamaica again! 🙂 – Nicolas
Thank you!
