The Journey of Judine Organics: From Local Roots to Global Reach
Tka WalkerShare
Every great brand has a story, and Judine Organics is no different. Ours is a tale of resilience, family, and a fierce love for traditional Jamaican flavor. What began as a whisper in a Portmore kitchen is now a voice echoing across tables worldwide — seasoning meals, warming hearts, and preserving a culture.
Humble Beginnings in Portmore, Jamaica
Judine Organics was born from the hands and heart of my grandmother, Ermine Anderson, a woman who could season a pot so well, neighbors always loved a plate of her cooking. Growing up, I stood at her side, inhaling the aroma of fresh herbs, learning how to blend thyme, bell peppers with fruits, vegetables, pimento, cloves, onion, garlic, and Scotch bonnet pepper into meals that told stories.
It wasn’t just about flavor — it was about healing, heritage, and love. She taught us that food is our medicine, culture, and connection. Those early days planted the seeds for what Judine Organics would one day become.
From Passion to Purpose
As time passed, I noticed something: most store-bought seasonings didn’t taste like home. They were packed with preservatives, artificial colors, and mystery ingredients that didn't belong in our pots.
So, I began blending my own. Through trial and error, I created our first authentic herbal spice blends — flavorful, natural, and gut-friendly. What started as a journey for personal healing soon became a mission to bring clean, vibrant Jamaican flavor back to every meal.
Born From Pain, Grown With Love
Judine Organics is not just a business idea. It is a lifeline.
After experiencing two traumatic assaults and losing my beloved mother during a robbery, my world spiraled. I was committed to the psychiatric ward and later diagnosed with schizophrenia. The psychotic medications brought on many side effects that nearly broke me.
But nature had other plans.
I turned to plant-based herbs and spices — not just for taste, but for healing. Cooking became my therapy, a way to reclaim my joy. My grandmother’s traditional formulas guided me. I returned to what was always there: simple ingredients, bold flavor, and the kind of love you can taste.
Taking Jamaican Flavor to the World
Encouraged by my family and fueled by gratitude, we launched Judine Organics to the public. And from day one, the support has been overwhelming. People are hungry — not just for food, but for something real.
Today, Judine Organics is a local brand with a global aim, trusted by families who want authentic Jamaican taste without the additives. From our Curry Run-dung Dry Rub, Fish & Seafood Spice, Garlic Jerk All-Purpose, Lemon Garlic Allspice, Oregano Poultry Ginger Spice, Salads & Dips Spice to our zesty Sorrel Rosemary Garlic Spice, we continue to blend tradition, healing, and bold flavor into every blend.
