- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- Donnavon Smith is a 49 year old Thyme Farmer Living in St.Elizabeth Jamaica.
Donnavon got into farming in the year 2000 after a friend encouraged him to start farming while he was employed at the Bauxite Plant in the Parish 'ALPART', Donnavon explained that because he was working on a shift system at the plant, he used the free time he had on his hands to do farming. Thyme was not the only crop he planted though, he also planted crops such as Water Melons, Cabbages, Escallions and Lettuce, however he love and passion for farming thyme lead to him focusing more on that crop, he gradually expanded the farm to now having one of the largest, if not the largest thyme farm in Jamaica.
His story in one of inspirational to Jamaica and the World.
I hope this story will help others to look into farming as a career.

I love this girl she showing my passion. O love farming
Where in Manchester is this??
Everything he is saying is true. I had stop there three weeks ago and he was kind enough to give me some scallion for free to start me off. He also gave me his contact info so he can give me pointers on how to grow it. Very good person. I wish him all the best
That was very nice of him,He is a good person indeed
I passed it once in St. Elizabeth, the scent is amazing not to mention the escallion.
#Iloveit
St. Elizabeth people are very kind and hardworking. So is my very bestfriend, my husband.
@@urcelynlumbleybowen5192 Yes St.Elizabeth people are kind and hardworking and thank you🙏💕
This farmer works smart & hard, rather than hard verses smart. This field is remarkable, neat, clean
well organized. May the heavenly father continue to bless this farmer. This farmer is a great credit to his country...🌾🌿☘☘🍀
One of the neatest farms i've been on so far
Farmers like this gentleman is an inspiration to the potential Jamaica has to be self sufficient in growing its own food.
Yes indeed, stay blessed

Mr Smith I love what you are doing I would like to buy some thyme to plant when I come back to the country I'll contact you keep up the good work
Very nice man. I can see why his farm thrives. He is so thankful to God. It's lovely to see this from my home in New England. I am a proud Jamaican
Its just tge blessings.... big up and thanks for Watching
Haha funny you say NEW England, cause that’s where I am and thyme is very expensive in MA!
This tyme field is so beautiful god continue to bless you sir continue with your work I love to cook with tyme especially my Jamaica tyme .god bless. 🙏🙏👍
Yes is something to see, bless up Beverley
What about exporting, wouldn't that work ?
If I was living in Jamaica I would have a corn 🌽🌽🌽🌽 farm and I would sell roast corn and jerk pork and a piece of coconut. Anyone want corn 🌽 and jerk pork or corn and coconut, soup 🍲 alone the wayside somewhere in the Holland bamboo 🎍 area.
Big up St Elizabeth, my parents parish , you make me proud have Jamaican blood
Nothing can beat the fragrance of the thyme just after yuh throw it in ah di soup pot just before serving especially beef soup
Mr. Smith, we are all proud of you, and your achievements in the garden. Keep up the good work you're doing. 😇🙏🏼✌🏼🏝️🇯🇲
Respect🙏🙏🙏
It's one of the most beautiful crop I ever see,definitely a art of farming and it's very prosperous and you can see he put is love and care in what he specialised mostly in..
That’s a fact!!!!
This is so refreshing, a positive vibes from downa yaad 🇯🇲
Jamaican thyme, it’s the best in the world. Beautiful thyme farm! Humble personality, I wish him the best of health.
God is good at all times he will give you the strength to accomplish what you are doing great and amazing to be able to do things that is good for sharing ur work. 😊thanks.
Someone should go around and collect left over food from restaurants and other businesses and do a major compost create top soil and sell it.
No, that's how many homeless ppl survive, by getting food fm restaurants
The restaurant sells the food to people to need food for dogs 🐕
Bugs and rats can be a real problem in Jamaica. Landscaping material might be a good idea.
They should start in the market plenty of things to use.
Ambitious young man. God bless you.
An awesome people with unique talents and tenacity...yes there are horrible crimes and some evil people from Jamaica but so is it around the world, good and bad comes from all nations and people but Jamaica is targeted because it is the gem of the Caribbean but such is life, the good pays the price for the bad, but Jamaicans are resilient, strong, tenacious, determination is a middle name for Jamaicans, to those hard working ones, NUFF RESPECT...
Thank you Sky, there is so much good thats not being hilighted.

Came across your video by “accident” but how fortunate and happy to find it!! Bless up and Big up to Farmer Donovan ... fantastic work he’s doing; his farm is simply amazing and beautiful. I know it’s taken hard work and even harder graft to reach this stage but he’s proving it can be done. I hope more young, and not so young, people take his advice to start small with something they know and love, give it all they have and see where it takes them. Thanks for including his information ... I plan to get in touch! 🇯🇲🇨🇦
Thanks so much🙏 you should get intouch he is a good person

You read my mind my sistah... its mission critical that independent media persons have the mindset you have and tell the millions of stories mainstream media no willing or able to tell... jah werks always!
Ja govt should invest in this man's business.
To god be the glory amen
Great video, please please do some close up shot of the plants so we can see especially for those who might not know the plant. It would have been great for him to demonstrate how it's planted and some on screen spelling of some of the names of the plants. Add a little info on what thyme and other plants are used for if you can. Just a suggestion ☺️ Thanks much!!! May your video continue to be a success
Thank You, I sure will do that next time thanks for the suggestion. Each one, Teach one.. one love!
Wow!!! I love that garden lovely. I love how he recycles the garden never running out of produce. Thanks for sharing.

Hey brother, would you come to Jamaica?
@@lamear9152 hi
How are you doing?you ever come to Jamaica before?
@@lamear9152 no friend
How are you
He looks like Linden Forbes Burnham one of Guyana’s president. Amazing resemblance.
Having something on the side is definitely essential especially in these times, another motivating video, I just planted a few veggies in my backyard hoping to see them germinate in a few days
Thanks sis and lots of blessings on your vegetables
Amazing. I love thyme
Very good introduction. Wow. Yes our government, both parties, the private sector, and the hypocritical churches need to come together and devise a plan to encourage and support willing workers so others looking on can join in and move full speed with cultivation and take Jamaica out of poverty and crime.
Excellent points! Jamaica has so much potential to be number one in some many aspects, we can be the cleanest country, the most productive country, the safest country etc. But if the leaders of the country don't change their mindsets and move from the same old same old , Jamaican can never advance.
@@ShanZenZenJamaicanVibez exactly. They need also to stop taking in so many foreigners. I am here in texas just watching the vast influx of people from all over the world ripping jamaica out of the hands of the natives. It is heartrending.
@@wesleyrattray4236 yes it's very Sad..
