Detailed Description of Excursion:
It all starts at the Pimento Porch Clubhouse where you will get a quick initiation as you learn our history. Take pleasure in the views of the countryside and enjoy the warmth of Jamaican hospitality as you head off, first to the Jerk Pit where you will “Learn to do the jerk!” Try a sample and savour our sumptuous jerk food.

Then it’s on to Mother Thyme's Spice Garden for a snap shot into 'Old Time Jamaica' where her 18th century style “wattle and daub” hut is surrounded by a colourful selection of herbs and spices used to prepare Caribbean favorites. Mother Thyme will share a few of her family secrets and show you how Jamaicans have used natural ingredients for cooking and healing since days gone by.

Then its off to Wassi Art, the process starts with the clay. The terracotta colour clay, dug by hand from the Blue Mountain ranges, is packed into rice bags and carried on heads a-cross a swaying footbridge strung across a deep chasm. It is then taken by truck to Wassi Art. The first step is to soak the clay in drums. It is then strained and poured into plaster vats to remove the excess water. Next the clay is partially sun dried and kneaded into a smooth pliable roll.
