About Tafara Farm

Farm

Located in Top Hill, a part of the world-famous Orange Hill region in the Westmoreland Parish of Jamaica. The farm comprised of rich agricultural land and stunning mountain views sits nestled in a pristine forest wilderness teaming with vibrant natural spaces and a bounty of jungle plants. Today Tafara Farm proudly produces a variety of organic produce, herbs, fruits, vegetable starter plants, shrubs, and botanicals, features a community gathering space, rejuvenating forest bathing experiences, natural infused medicine teas, and a truly unique farm-to-fork foodie experience at the Tafara Bistro.

Founders

Caitlin, an Ameri-Canadian living in Jamaica, grew up on a farm in British Columbia, Canada where she fostered her passion for organic agriculture. She built a successful career in higher education before launching Lush Industries in 2022 with co-founder Ricardo Negrini, a skilled fisherman and farmer from Little Bay. Together, they transformed land into a farm, community space, restaurant, and incubator training hub for small farmers. They are proud recipients of the MSME Roadshow grant, which afirms and supports their vision for developing sustainable agriculture and youth training in the region.

Mission

Let us unite as global citizens to guide our communities in promoting family health and preserving our planet through water conservation, innovative business initiatives, and sustainable organic practices. Our values revolve around integrity, excellence in products, and a commitment to fair trade principles, all while meticulously crafting superior goods with dedication and compassion.

Philanthropy

Through our Food Sustainability Vision 2025-2030, Tafara Farm actively participates in community initiatives by offering our facilities to educators and supporting philanthropic efforts. We collaborate with The Royal Ethiopian Judah Coptic Church to assist Rastafarian farmers in accessing global markets and partner with local primary schools to provide hands-on agricultural education for young learners. By planting a seed, we nurture growth.

To sustain these vital programs, Tafara Farm generates income from farm tours, events, and the Tafara Bistro, which help finance facilities, community activities, and staff salaries. We also seek grants and donations to ensure our programs remain accessible to all. Your support is invaluable, and we welcome inquiries about potential partnerships.
