👀 WHAT'S IN THIS VIDEO?
In this video, I visit a sprawling 17-acre pineapple farm in rural St. James.
And yes, it is run by a mother and son team, led by the mom, almost 80-year-old Patsy.
Today they took me on a fascinating tour, showing us the various types of pineapples on the farm, as well as how to farm (plant, maintain, and harvest).
But we can't tour a pineapple farm without eating pineapples, right?😊
Of course not, and so I had the joy of having the pineapple taste test😋
Join me in this fun learning adventure.
You are in for another treat!💃

We need to stress the importance of farming and food security to the younger generation,and let them know that we are doomed if we can't feed ourselves too many young people are sitting on the side walk digging holes in their hand middle 😳

[@myislandjamaica]

exactly

[@irokoreasoning926]

No 1 asking what chemicals being used. I stopped buying pineapples, melons etc, pure poison being used in farming. Most foods have no nutrients these days. Farming is now about money not health, at least not good health.

[@lisakmar]

What do you eat?

[@irokoreasoning926]

@@lisakmar I do my best to add wild foods in, SpanishNeedle, wild callaloo and other bush that I know can eat, coconuts flesh/water, grapefruits, starApples. Do my best to eat with the seasons, even though we losing those food/fruit slowly. I know its harder for those in concrete jungles.

[@lisakmar]

@@irokoreasoning926 That's a good diet. What about planting your own pineapple and other produce that are often sprayed with harmful chemicals? I often wonder why Jamaicans don't do more gardening for their own use. In Canada, as May hits we start preparing our kitchen gardens. It saves us a lot and everything is organic. There is so much you can do in pots too.

[@irokoreasoning926]

@@lisakmar Most definitely planting our own is the way.

[@teddyp938]

Thanks for the video..I would love to see more technology in use to catch water and irrigate and map out the field to know when crops are ready to reap and plant. Me head hurt me to see the lovely bunch a plantain a ground. Small pineapples have market too. When you get workers give them a contract to sign.

[@myislandjamaica]

🙏

[@aloysioussomers7539]

The 🔝 top of the pine is very beneficial

[@prisoner_of_hope8386]

When I first went to Jamaica, I was skeptical about the pineapple because they are smaller and round unlike the terrible tasting one in the states. But they are soooo sweet. One time a slice fell on the ground and my nephew told me to look away cause he was gonna eat it any way. Too sweet fi dash weh! lol I have to figure out how to get a few pineapple crowns to Guyana to plant in my uncle's yard.

[@ronfordsimms5041]

I am so jealous. It is such a struggle to grow Pineapples in my area as I don't have easy access to suckers but more easier to get hold of crowns.

[@aloysioussomers7539]

The pine leafs are very beneficial also

[@blessingsfromthegarden]

How? Please explain. Thanks

Nathan boy you got a mouth on you sometimes it will cause you a lot of grief but at the same time you speak your mind whoever likes it fine if they don't still fine with you you've had your say

[@herminefostet-smith7571]

I planted a pineapple sucker more than 2 years ago and it has not borne any pineapple. What can I do for it to bear?

[@jenniferjemison636]

Me too. I live near the sea so I'm thinking it's the salt air. The soil too may be a problem. I have good luck when I plant them in pots. They come out just the same..delicious!

[@pamelamcpherson8377]

I plant mine over 2 years now, I fertilize, water, talk to it and pray for them, but still nothing but they do look good in the pot.

[@blessingsfromthegarden]

Ours came up after 3 years.

[@violettashearer6428]

They need a 4 wheeler bike to get around the field.

[@tellmeadesaint1674]

How can we purchase the suckers and some pineapple I live in the virgin islands ..

[@KingKong-dp2he]

He mentioned the planting process kind of wrong after stripping the pine sucker's he should have said wait until you see the roots instead of sucker's because I did it and it works and I used sucker's that I picked up out the garbage in the market

[@winniemeade8037]

Salt u use cook

[@jamerican_usnavy]

I'm into permaculture landscaping. It seems they planted too many pineapples and they can't manage what they have. Rather than let bananas rot and waste. Invite church members to pick what you don't want. You are giving back which recycles itself

[@myislandjamaica]
