Blue Mountain Coffee Season 2007/8 »  

Spring Birdwatching

As usual it's been a busy spring as far as birds are concerned on and around Lime Tree Farm. Many endemic species have been sighted, the most significant being the Jamaican Lizard Cuckoo which I havn't seen for a couple of years now. Our resident Red Tailed Hawks produced 2 fine offspring this year both of which have reached considerable size already and are busy terrorizing the local rodent population! We have a fairly tame Tody who visits sometimes early in the morning whilst our guests are drinking our world famous Blue Mountain Coffee - an experience not to be missed!

  • Best home-style Jamaican Food

    "At Lime Tree Farm I ate some of the best home-style Jamaican food I have ever tasted: traditional breakfasts of breadfruit and fresh ackee - which you can only get in tins in the UK - spicy callaloo soup, fried fresh fish and desserts of mango or faultless, sticky coconut macaroons."
