The richest combinations of authentic Jamaican culture and vast biodiversity, fuelled by its abundantly fertile lands. It is the second-largest parish on the island and is considered by many as the breadbasket of the country. Throughout its history the majority of the island's produce came directly from the hard labour invested within its soil.The bulk of Jamaica's fruits and vegetables are grown here.
St Elizabeth is one of the few parishes that have upheld the use of traditions which have been passed down from generation to generation. Though the social scene has changed significantly, the parish has forged ahead in agricultural production and contributes significantly to the country's welfare.
