ABOUT US
Whitfield Hall is owned by John and Maureen Allgrove.
John Allgrove grew up in the Blue Mountains. His parents emigrated from England to Jamaica and his mother ran a guesthouse, first at Whitfield Hall and later at nearby Torre Garda. She led tours on horseback across Jamaica and from Kingston to Blue Mountain Peak. John eventually leased and then purchased Whitfield Hall.
John and Maureen even spent part of their honeymoon painting the roof! For John and Maureen, Whitfield Hall continues to be a labor of love, and today their farm produces some of the most highly regarded Blue Mountain Coffee grown in Jamaica.
In addition to running Whitfield, John is a civil engineer and Maureen is retired from development work. They have three children, Zickie, Tanya, and Deanne, and two grandchildren.
It truly is a family affair at Whitfield Hall as our Farm Manager Roydell is the son of the former House Manager, known fondly as Miss Cynthia. Her daughter succeeded her and she was in turn succeeded by her son Everton, the current House Manager. Roydell's other nephew, and Everton's brother, Loxly ("Tiger") often acts as a guide for those wishing to tackle Blue Mountain Peak.
