Sun Valley Plantation (cell tel. 876/995-3075 or 876/446-2026, sunvalleyjamaica@yahoo.com, 9 a.m.–2 p.m. daily, US$12) offers an excellent guided farm tour that includes a welcome drink, and a drink and snack at end of the tour. The educational stroll about the farm familiarizes visitors with native crops like sugarcane and banana that have played important roles in Jamaica's economy and in the history of the area. Sun Valley is owned by Lorna and Nolly Binns, who live on the property with their son Bryan. Nolly's father bought the property in 1966 to grow bananas for export. Today the farm produces mainly coconuts for the local market. To get to Sun Valley, head inland at the roundabout in Oracabessa, passing through Jack's River, and stay straight rather than left at the Epping gas station for about 1.5 kilometers farther.
