The Family Garden is a pesticide free farming business
located all around the community of Jack’s Hill in Kingston, Jamaica. Even the community school has a farm that raises money for their extra expenses. They grow cooking herbs, lettuce and other unique vegetables using a Hydroponic Farming method.

We also grow cut Herbs, Swiss Chard, Kale, Grape/Cherry tomatoes - they too are grown hydroponically.
