Your hotel or villa in Montego Bay
10:30 am
Along the north coast we head to the parish of St. Ann. The scenic drive will take about 1, 5 hours before we arrive at Zionites Farm, a 15-acre farm nestled in the beautiful hills of St. Ann, Jamaica. A breathtaking landscape, where things move slowly, and luxury resides in simplicity and a connection to the earth. Walk the farm with the owner as you harken back to ancestral origins, when plants were your medicine, and the earth’s bounty your food. Engage your senses with the herbs, spices, fruits, birds, flowers, and ornamentals. Plant some seeds or a tree to greet you on your return. Take in the sweeping views of Jamaica’s north coast, and the beauty of the hills simultaneously. Then sit down to a lovingly prepared meal that highlights the local, weaves simple flavors into joy on a plate, and brings you back to what real food tastes like.
We were shown around the farm, encouraged to talk and taste of what we saw.
Afterwards we were served a full 6 course vegan meal. All from the farm to the table; all artfully presented to captivate our eyes and our taste buds. Even if you’re not a vegan, but you love being pleasantly surprised this is worth the trip, and if you’re an vegan expect a plethora of taste and textures introduced to your taste buds. You won’t be disappointed.
What a special experience, thoughtful and delicious. We booked the Jeep and it made quite an entrance at our hotel, the kids were so excited. We learned about Jamaican organic farming, history and way of life. And then were welcomed to the farmer’s airy and earthy home for a foodie’s delight. The two hour drive from Mobay was well worth it. I couldn’t think of a better way to experience Jamaica or to spend a day with my family. And thanks for the extra attention to the young ones. Respect.
Exhilarating Experience!!
This was a farm to table concept at the top of the mountain in the middle of a jungle in Jamaica, no way we could have gotten there with a rental car. The Jeep was perfect, Julia an excellent driver, very humble and friendly personality. The location was breathtaking and the vibe was so peaceful we just loved it. You don’t have to be a vegetarian to love this place – it is just so grounding and the food was so amazing that just being there will bring your energy to a new level.
By far the BEST meal I had in Jamaica!
