The Experience

There's something satisfying about making something with your hands that you'd actually keep. You walk in with shells—either ones you've collected or ones the workshop has picked from Jamaica's beaches—and you leave with a piece you made yourself. The space is part gift shop, part working studio, and the whole thing feels less like a tourist activity and more like you've stumbled into someone's creative project that happens to welcome visitors. You get bottled water while you work, and the tools and beads are there waiting.

Before you settle into the craft tables, there's a walk through the property's 14 fruit trees. Your host points out what grows here, how it arrived in Jamaica, the story behind each one. Then you move through the small farm—goats, rabbits, ducks, chickens—and there are tree houses if you want to climb up and watch for birds. It's the kind of place where you might actually see Woody the woodpecker, though that's not guaranteed. You'll get a complimentary glass of the signature drink before heading to the shop, and by then you've already got a sense of the place beyond the transaction.

The craft options are real: beaded jewelry, glass art from recycled Red Stripe bottles, fridge magnets, picture frames, key chains, candles in calabash shells, even body scrub if you want to go that route. You're not assembling a kit—you're choosing what to make, working with the materials, and taking home something that's yours. The workshop doesn't rush you. If you want to buy local snacks or extra fruits on the way out, that's separate, but it's there. Souvenirs you create are yours to take; anything else you want from the shop is sold separately.

What’s included

Your experience includes a guided walk through the farm's 14 fruit trees with commentary on their history in Jamaica, time with the farm animals and tree houses, a complimentary glass of the signature drink, access to craft materials and tools for making your own jewelry or souvenirs, and a browse through the gift shop filled with traditional hand-crafted items and authentic local goods.
Bottled water is provided throughout.
Anything you create is yours to take home; food, snacks, and additional items in the shop are available for separate purchase.
