The Walkerswood Caribbean Foods factory in the village of Walkerswood, about 90 minutes northeast of Kingston in the hills of St Ann, offers guided tours of the facility where the company produces its jerk seasonings, jerk sauces, and other Jamaican condiments. It is not a slick visitor attraction but a genuine working factory that explains the production process clearly and ends with a tasting.
Walkerswood is most useful combined with a drive through the rural interior of Jamaica — the St Ann hills are beautiful, the road from Kingston via Gordon Town and Castleton Botanical Gardens passes through excellent scenery, and the village of Walkerswood itself is the kind of quiet, self-sufficient Jamaican rural community that tourist itineraries rarely include. The factory shop sells the full range of products at prices lower than anywhere else, and buying the jerk seasoning here rather than at an airport outlet makes a difference to both the price and the quality you take home.
