For love and farming: God’s grace guides couple’s journey from hardship to success

KINGSTON, Jamaica — What began as a move to Trelawny for love has blossomed into a successful farming business, with faith in God helping to sustain a couple through years of financial hardship and uncertainty.

Adrian Robinson, 55, who hails from Cessnock, Hanover, established ANR in 1994 after relocating to Perth Town, Trelawny. He met his wife, Nannette Robinson, while working at Couples Swept Away in Negril, where he was a bartender and she was the resort’s purchasing manager.

It was Nannette who first recognised the potential in sourcing fruits and vegetables from farmers in St Elizabeth to supply hotels. With her relatives owning property in Trelawny, she envisioned establishing a farming operation there, a decision that would eventually change the course of their lives.
