Source Farm Ecovillage Tour

Source Farm Ecovillage is a long-standing ecovillage in Jamaica and while Jamaica is known for its embrace of organic, anti-capitalistic lifestyles in the Rasta community, there is no written scientific method followed by the Rasta community to point to as Rasta is a 'livity' or a self-informed lifestyle born of one's convictions. Still, the idea that Permaculture communities and ecovillages are the origin and authority on alternative natural lifestyles aside from indigenous communities would be hypocritical.
The Rasta community has long emphasized the importance of one's diet, rejected the eating of anything that bleeds, embraced the ceremonial use of marijuana as a spiritual tool, and so on. The wider Jamaican community of Afro-Caribbean descendants have always had medicine men and women who even during slavery were relied upon by the white enslavers for their knowledge of 'bush medicine.'
So with this disclaimer, I present the innovation of the Source Farm Ecovillage which seeks to optimize Jamaica's natural resources and create not just sustainable but regenerative lifestyles.
P.S.: There are some off-the-cuff opinions voiced in this video by me, don't take me too seriously, I enjoy theorizing and am always quick to course-correct should I be provided with convincing evidence to the contrary of my opinions and hypotheses :D

I’ve had the privilege of speaking with Dwight and Nicola. They both willingly shared their knowledge. I pulled strong, good energy from both of them!! Love their village and hope very soon I’ll be able to visit❤

There is a third party in the making called U I C and its leader Joseph L Patterson that have similar visions for Jamaica. Information can be had on KZbin U I C Liberty T V, Unstoppable T V, Interviewing Mr Patterson. Jamaica has the potential of becoming the Organic Food Capital of the world,earning desperately needed foreign exchange.

Thank you for documenting this! I've been dreaming of having setting up structures like this for myself and my community for a long time. It's beautiful to actually see it done.

I would say, don't hesitate! This is the better way to build, natural but modern and thoughtful, taking the surroundings into account! Why just have a cement box when you can live in an earthen beauty 😍

Yes. In my family whenever a baby is born we plant a tree. Mine was an orange tree.
