In 2018, a trip to Martinique changed FarmerJawn® founder Christa Barfield's life.

While staying with Black farmers in the Caribbean, she found a deeper connection to land, food, community, and herself. That experience became part of the seed that would eventually grow into FarmerJawn.

In 2027 she's returning to Martinique and bringing her community with her.

Agriculture is the Culture: Martinique is FarmerJawn's inaugural international experience, created in partnership with It's Deeper Than Travel for a community that is health-conscious, farm-curious, passionate about food and sustainability, and ready to experience the soil and the soul of Martinique.

At the center of the journey is a return to Petit Cocotier, the Martinican agro-farm that Christa visited in 2018 that ignited the journey and inspiration for what has now become FarmerJawn.

Over six days, you'll explore the relationship between land, food, culture, wellness, and community, learning alongside Black farmers, experiencing Afro-Caribbean culture, gathering around food, making room for rest, and new connections along the way.

This is your invitation to connect to the land, community, and yourself.

Learn alongside Black farmers and explore the relationship between farming, food systems, and how land, tradition, knowledge, economy, and community intertwine.

The final itinerary is still under wraps, but prepare to celebrate a reunion between Christa Barfield and Petit Cocotier co-founder André-Judes Cadasse, vanilla pollination and cultivation demonstrations, and immersive agricultural learning in the perfect place for your hands to meet the land.

Experience food as more than a meal, connecting what is grown to how it is prepared, shared, and carried through generations.

The final itinerary is still under wraps, but get ready to harvest and taste fruit directly from the trees of the island, see exactly where the delicacies on your plate were grown, and partake in meals that connect what grows on the land to Martinican foodways.

Experience Martinique through its people, food, traditions, history, and the relationship between what is grown, prepared, shared, and passed down.

The final itinerary is still under wraps, but prepare to settle into your new home for the week, get your first tastes of Martinique with authentic dishes for dinner at one of Martinique's best local dining experiences, learn some Martinican Creole, and find the cultural threads that Martinique contributes to the African Diaspora.

Enjoy room to rest, reflect, and take in the beauty of simply being in Martinique.

The final itinerary is still under wraps, but plan to partake in entire days of free time to explore Martinique, lay by the pool, soak in the sun and sand at the beaches, or do nothing at all.

Build meaningful relationships with fellow travelers who share your curiosity about land, food, culture and the people of Martinique you will encounter along the way. Make space to learn and reflect on connections made and all you have seen, heard, and learned.

The final itinerary is still under wraps, but expect to hear real stories and electrifying music during an intimate conversation around a bonfire on the beach exploring land, food, identity, sustainability, community, and the future of agriculture alongside members of the Martinican farming community.
