I met a guy (now a very old friend) in Jamaica in 1978 who at the time helped me in a tight situation while I was traveling across the island with a young woman I met in Negril. That is a story for another time but Sonny called me a few weeks ago and said that a farmer friend of his was going to be Apple picking in Maine in October and that he would give him, Dean Martin, two pounds of Blue Mountain Coffee to carry for me. Luckily I own a piece of land in Maine and today I stopped by Ricker Hill Farm in Turner, Maine and met Dean and he gave me the coffee. The packaging lists the Portland Small Coffee Farmers as the origin. Sonny is a coffee farmer in Portland, Jamaica which is one of the most beautiful parishes in JA. I gave Dean a couple of pairs of Levi's to carry for Sonny and twenty bucks to Dean for his help. Now I just have to get a can of sweetened condensed milk from my pantry and tomorrow morning I'll be one happy guy!!
