Cameron's Farm

One of the men who came to visit was Cameron, who was educated in the states and has come back to Jamaica to revive his family's farm and do his best to employ some people and help his economically depressed parish. The work he is doing left us all pretty awestruck, and he was like a sponge when it came to any new information and ideas we could offer for ways to create value-added products that will help him to be as financially stable as possible. He took us on a tour of his farm, where his main products at the moment are Scotch Bonnet peppers (HOT!!) and turmeric. He has an old "cocoa walk" (what you call a plantation of cocoa trees) but has trouble with rats eating the pods, which is why you see the black. You can also see holes chewed in. He can't poison rats and also stay organic, so that's something he's researching.
