Bluefields Organic Farm

A HARVEST OF GRATITUDE!

Rachel Stevens and her family turned their working vacation at Bluefields Organic Farm into an opportunity to help when we needed it most.

From papaya planting to coconut seedlings and other recovery activities, they didn't wait until we were ready. They came to help us get ready!

Today, some of the papayas they helped plant are ready for harvesting.

Thanks to Rachel and her family for their generosity, time and willingness to make a difference. They helped us plant hope and today we are beginning to harvest the rewards!

Have you ever planted something for someone else, knowing you might not be there to enjoy the harvest?

Yesterday it was a ripe naseberry. This morning? A fresh guava with a little w**d salad on the side!

Apparently, Mellie has decided that Bluefields Organic Farm is her personal supermarket! It's all about from the field straight to her tummy with no packaging required.

Ten months after Hurricane Melissa devastated our farm, this lone sweetsop feels especially precious.

Before the hurricane, harvesting fruits like this was routine. Today, every fruit is a reminder of nature's incredible ability to recover.

One tree. One fruit. One step at a time.

One of the simple pleasures of staying at Bluefields Organic Farm is waking up to the beautiful songs of birds welcoming a new day.

From birdwatching and farm tours to fresh fruit tasting, organic honey and breathtaking countryside views, there are so many healthy, authentic experiences to choose from.

Innovation! Education! Inspiration!

A quick look at some of the many things that fascinated me at Dembigh 2026. Every display reminded me that agriculture is constantly evolving—from renewable energy and value-added processing to smarter farming practices and improved livestock.

There's always something new to learn!

In a typical summer, Bluefields Bay area would be blessed with an abundance of mangoes and other fruits. This year, however, Hurricane Melissa changed that reality, leaving many fruit trees damaged and our harvest much smaller than usual.

This thoughtful gift reminds us that when one community faces hardship, another can help lift it up.

At Bluefields Organic Farm, we continue to rebuild, replant, and recover—one season, one harvest, and one act of kindness at a time.

📖 As I share in Give Thanks For Life, gratitude shines brightest during life's most difficult seasons.

💬 What's your favourite Jamaican mango?

Today, we officially launched our Bluefields Organic Farm Honey Souvenir Packages, and we're excited to share that the first five bottles were purchased by a wonderful visiting family of four!

8 Months After Hurricane Melissa...

One banana tree survived the storm at Bluefields Organic Farm and is now bearing fruit. A beautiful sign that life can flourish again.

However, just a few miles away in Retrieve, Westmoreland, zinc sheets are still wrapped around power lines eight months later.

Two images.Two reminders. One story of hope and unfinished recovery.

Give Thanks For Life is more than a book about a hurricane. It is a story of resilience, gratitude, and rebuilding.
