If you are passing through the town of Oracabessa in St. Mary, be sure to stop at the Sun Valley Plantation for fresh fruit and a tour. Before the 90 minute tour begins, each guest is greeted with a welcome drink made of seasonal fruit. The tour is given by the owners, Lorna and Nolly Binns. Located on a botanical farm and working plantation, the tour tells the property’s story from the time of slavery to the present day. While diving into over 250 years of history, taste tropical fruits, such as coconuts and otaheite apples, straight from the trees. Learn how the property’s plants, herbs and spices can be used for therapeutic and medicinal purposes. While listening and strolling through the garden watch for fresh fruit being packaged for export. At the end of the tour, enjoy a plate of Jamaica’s National Dish, ackee and saltfish, served with fresh fruit juice.
