Cocoa has been grown on Green Castle since the  1700′s and at one time it was exported to Hershey’s for chocolate manufacturing.  For many years nothing has been done with the cocoa fields and they are now being rehabilitated with the intention to start exporting through our Jamaica Cocoa Industry Board.  Cocoa is once again fetching high prices worldwide and with the sale of our organic cocoa, (only organic agricultural products are grown on Green Castle) we hope to achieve strong sales from this produce.    The cacao plant was discovered in Jamaica by Lord Sloane in 1687 when he was cataloguing plant cuttings.  He later developed and owned the patent for what is called milk chocolate.  Cocoa is a very popular drink as well as an ingredient used in baking such as the calorie-laden chocolate cake.

Escape and let nature’s abundant beauty nourish you at this eco-resort!

Recently seen at the dam – this duck’s usual habitat is freshwater wetlands, rivers and canals.  It feeds by diving for roots, seeds, insects and molluscs.  It breeds in northern North America and winters south of Panama.  Non-breeders are present year round in Cuba.  These ducks are uncommon winter visitors to Jamaica, although the numbers seem to be increasing and are seen mainly on migration.

Whether you decide to overnight at our Estate House or spend the day, our Estate Tour is a must-do.  Green Castle is located on a 1600 year old historical site where Jamaica’s first inhabitants, the Taino Indians, occupied some of the lands.  Archaeologists have discovered two Taino burial sites on the Estate………there is so much history here for all to learn.  Green Castle with it’s miles of farm roads and hiking trails is also perfect for birding while exercising.

In the 1600′s cacao growing started on Green Castle and over the years the trees have been maintained and the beans sold to the Hershey’s factory in Manchester, England.  For a period the price had been so low that Green Castle stopped investing to reduce costs and eventually stopped altogether.  With the increase in price of cacao, Green Castle is once again becoming a vibrant organically produced cacao plantation  as we are now investing in maintaining and harvesting the approximately 70 acres of cacao and will start selling again.

The Potoo, which is endemic to Jamaica. can be found perched on the fences of the cow pastures late at night or very early morning on Green Castle.  The iris is yellow, reflecting red in a spotlight at night.  They sit very erect, resembling a piece of wood and are very difficult to spot in the dark………..the avid birder gets very excited when they spot one.
