Featured Jamaican Product

You probably know that, like world famous blue mountain coffee, we produce the world's best castor oil right?

But did you know that we also make some of the best coconut oil as well.

And I say we, but in many cases, it is done by average, ordinary Jamaicans!
Like this lady, Rebecca.

I met up with Rebecca sometime ago, and she actually does both coconut and castor oils!

I already featured her on my website, but I felt like just showcasing her and her amazing products again today.

Here she is, with her story: https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/jamaican-heritage-in-her-hands.html
