September 30, 2025

Dr. Thomas Mathew, owner of the renowned Spice Farm in Golden Stream, has been a part of Belize for more than 32 years. PGTV takes a moment to thank him for everything he has done for his community and, by extension, the country. Dr. Mathew is leaving Belize to return to India to be with his family. During his decades here, he earned the respect and appreciation of many, not only for building the Spice Farm and Resort but also for his contributions to the growth and development of the Toledo District. In recent days, community members took to social media to wish him farewell and to express gratitude for his service and dedication. Looking ahead, the Spice Farm will remain in good hands. PGTV joins the community in wishing Dr. Thomas Mathew all the best as he begins this new chapter of his life.
