Details

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.

If you are interested to get in touch with nature in a sense that you will not only live in the bush, but will also work in it and be confronted with it, you might be at the right place.
Spending one week there I made intense experiences. The overall idea is to get back to a natural living, apart from general societal consumerism, rush, human made… read more
