Description
My name is Thomas
Our place is located near Cambridge in Jamaica
I'm a swiss/jamaican living since over 20 years on a exotic fruit farm in the hills of Western Jamaica.
This time in creation has taught me plenty about natural life.
It has reached a stage where I can share my life here with a few special beings interested in natural life, exotic fruits and ital ( vegan ) food.
The farm is located 10 minutes walking distance from the main road.
It is generally a quiet farming community about 3 miles from Cambridge.
