My-Island-Jamaica Digest Ezine: June 28, 2020

Intro / Feature

Happy Sunday !

Last week we spoke about Jamaica's re-opening and the guidelines.
Well, today I share with you an interesting follow up question we got, with our response.

The question..

"Who is making low or high risks assessments when entering the airport? What specifically are the criteria for low or high risk determinations.
Are children being assessed also? "

So my associate Kesha jumped on it with a very detailed response.

Here is the link to the question with our response: https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/tourism-travel-to-jamaica-since-covid19.html

Please be sure to read and share.

And now, my...

Featured Video!

I had the pleasure of visiting and doing a tour of JahB's farm in the hills of St. James recently.

Talk about 100% organic subsistence farming? This is it!

Over 30 exciting Jamaican fruits and vegetables are highlighted here, in addition to a little surprise from a duck! Oh yes!

And yes, in addition to this article capturing some of the pictures, I also have a video. Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEwzHQX5j_Q

Featured Jamaican Product

Last week I featured JAMAICAN JERK, well today I won't be too far off.

In fact, this week's feature is indeed the secret ingredient in that same Jerk (I mentioned it sometime ago in another newsletter).

It is.. yes, Pimento.

What is it like? What makes it so special? How is it farmed? And how is it harvested?

Here's the full article about Jamaican Pimento: https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/pimento_tree.html

Recognition

This week's recognition goes out to Trudie Webster from Colorado, USA.

Trudie's feedback...

" Great article on Ruth and Byron's Ruby Goat Dairy! they are good friends and just watching the video from Colorado made me homesick! Hoping to get back to my Jamaica soon!

Thanks for all you do Wellesley "

You are very welcome Trudie! And thanks again for the feedback.

Did You Know?

... Jamaica was the first country to impose economic sanctions against the apartheid regime of South Africa?

Well, now you know!

And yes, this too, is yet another Jamaican fun fact that was extracted from my 16 fun facts about Jamiaca article: https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/fun_facts_about_jamaica.html

And Before You Go...

Two (2) things...

You've heard, or perhaps likely experienced the Saharan dust recently right?
What's your take on this phenomenon? I admit, I haven't yet read much on it, but I'd like to hear your thoughts, and
I want to, again state my deep appreciation to you and all my most ardent subscribers, who continue to read (and share) my articles and listen to me on YouTube.

Yes, I truly value you, thanks again!

And please, continue to #StaySafeAndSane my friend.

Regards,
