Our Purpose To teach the next generation of Jamaicans, along with their parents, how to make a living through organic farming; developing sustainable farming practices - powered by solar energy, and the use of natural water-capturing and filtering techniques to provide a clean drinking water source and develop a self-sustaining product to increase jobs while protecting the environment.
Our Mission To restore St. Mary's reputation as the breadbasket of Jamaica through 21st century organic farming and be a leader amongst the other parishes in economic prosperity through agricultural development.
Self-Sustaining, Efficient Farming These farms are small but very efficient. Growing multiple vegetables throughout a 12-month period, these small farms provide whole foods for the entire community to enjoy. GLF is producing vegetables such as: cabbage, tomatoes, eggplant, callaloo, cauliflower, cucumbers, fennel, cherry tomatoes, 5 types of lettuce, a variety of herbs, and more.
Green Life Farm is one farm that expanded into a label, representing many farms throughout the Parish of St. Mary. With the backing of many seasoned organic farmers from the United States, GLF is able to create a "perfect farm" environment for our local Jamaican farmers who are currently struggling to become self-sufficient. read more

The End Product
This is going to take a lot of hard work, financial assistance and professional help to create a green, self-sufficient environment that restores our children and helps the environment. We believe we not only are up for the job, but with your help we can make this a reality. St. Mary is a sleeping giant that will awaken to a new method in farming, producing a product that is earth-friendly and in high demand. Jamaicans' pride in St. Mary will once again produce a self-sustaining and thriving economy.
