About Us
Cool Running’s Organic Farm is an online portal where you can get affordable fresh fruits at the best price at your doorstep.
The founder of Cool Runnings is Garfield Jarret .
He grew up in Jamaica surrounded by his Grandfather’s sugar cane. As a 10 year Marine Corp Veteran the direction of his life shifted after being injured overseas in a roadside attack. After recuperating Jarret’s love for nature and desire to heal and help others led him to earn both his bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work from Florida International University and ultimately start his own Organic Farm.
It was through FIU that he discovered the newly developed Small Farmer & Veteran Outreach Program. The training and access program for resources was designed for military veterans, socially disadvantaged and beginner farmers to start their own ventures.
The farm, in operation for almost two years, now serves as a community resource center, as a learning tool for students, a healing place for therapy and a beacon of light in areas where healthy food is seemingly unattainable. With 5 children, the youngest a newborn & and eldest planning for college Cool Runnings is a family & community oriented business.
Cool Running’s Organic Farm promotes and educates about sustainable food systems through community involvement. We pride ourselves on raising and processing animals in a humane way without antibiotics or hormones. We have a bounty of produce and depending on the season you can find anything from different varieties of vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes, squash, greens and more to tropical fruits such as longans, starfruit, jackfruit and much more!
