Nestled in the St. Thomas Ye Vale valley of St. Catherine, Jamaica, Tulloch Estates is a 6th generation, family-owned farm run by Jamaica born and raised Roger & Claire Turner. Roger & Claire are the definition of a dedicated and passionate farming couple. Prioritizing eco-kind farming practices over the past 40 years has allowed them to preserve the valley’s unrivaled beauty while producing exquisite tasting fruit. This passion and high level of stewardship has ensured that this estate will live on for many more generations to come.
Tulloch Estates grows an incredibly diverse mix of tropical fruit crops, ranging from well-known Caribbean delights like bananas, coconuts and sugarcane, to more exotic varieties like jackfruit, rambutan and longans. The family has always prioritized sustainability through diversity. Ancient wooded hills surround this idyllic property where tropical crops grow alongside two winding rivers at the basin of the valley.
