Hurricane Gustav Hits Jamaica

Just when we thought Jamaica had escaped Hurricane Gustav it turned back in Haiti to bite us on the bum.  Sadly the hurricane tore off our own house roof and has lashed our Blue Mountain Coffee crop but thankfully so far no fatalities reported by our neighbours.  

The worst thing is our road which appears to have been washed away.  Hopefully the road has suffered less of a slide further down the mountain, then it would be affecting food crops too, but we'll be out there soon getting this repaired though so don't despair about not being able to get to Lime Tree Farm for your holiday! Just keep your fingers crossed for us, there is another storm building down by Barbados.

Charlie, Roger, Susie and Tiffany, We are so sorry to hear of your troubles with the rain, wind, roof and road. We had such an enjoyable time staying with you; it was the highlight of our trip to Jamaica!

Our thoughts are with you as you rebuild … and we know you will!

All the best,
Steve, Julie, David, Jonathan and Daniel

  • 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."
