The farm-to-table movement is an ever growing social trend, the idea of which is in the name: serve locally grown foods at restaurants so that patrons know exactly what they are eating and where it came from. This movement is catching on in Jamaica too and what better place for it? Here are some of the farm-to-table experiences we’d love to try out.
It’s a bit of a mysterious spot but Pantrepant, a private farm in Cockpit Country owned by Chris Blackwell, used to be a place that people could stay (by rare invitation) that hosted regular farm-to-table dinners. It seems to have come to a halt since the pandemic, but rumours are that the farm may eventually become available to visit again. If the Pantrepant breakfast at Goldeneye is any indication, we’re ready when they are!
Two Sisters, located somewhere in rural St. Ann and run by, yep, two sisters Michelle and Suzanne Rousseau, offer a hearth-to-table experience twice a week under the stars, with food cooked on a 300-year-old pimento barbecue. We are planning to experience this ourselves later this year and are very excited! We can’t wait to report back.
We have already talked about Stush in the Bush and their farm-to-table experience as a bucket list item on our Ocho Rios page. But they deserve a second mention, as they were recently ranked one of North America’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2025, one of only two Caribbean spots on the list, which tells you how good they must be.
Finally, we are eagerly awaiting the opening of Agent Sasco’s Mulberry Valley Estate in St. Mary. The vision is for it to be an agro- and eco-tourism destination, where visitors can stay at on-site accommodations and get a taste of farm life. We are eagerly awaiting more details of what is sure to be an amazing experience (and eager to explore the parish of St. Mary more).
