Niue's Original Office | Taro Farming | Harvesting & Planting

Taro farming, a way of life!
Harvesting taro for the family's weekly supply and also setting the taro shoots for replanting. It is a continuous process so as to maintain the taro production required and the planting material so you don't run out of taro eventually.
Getting the kids to help lightens the load and at the same time passing on the torch of knowledge and know how for them, just like how my father passed it down to me from his father all the way back through many generations.
Taro farming nowadays is way easier compared to back in the days with help of motor vehicles and modern tools.

My doctor told me once to go back to eating like my ancestors. I replied by saying “Yes, I eat pork and taro…” to which the doctor looked at me and said “Go hunt the pig, kill it, clean it, cook it… clean the land, plant the taro, cut the wood, make the umu and cook the food. Your ancestors did not buy the pork and taro Now if you do that, then I’m ok with you eating the pork and taro.” I learned my lesson that day. Thanks for the video, trust me, you are living the good life. I miss it.

You have a very good family unity, working together and giving the children good values in life. I grow up in the farm and we did what you are doing now, missed the old days. Love the taros.

[@LifeOnTheRockNiueIsland]

Thank you.🙏

[@tafagafagasavea3418]

Enjoy watching your videos. Proud of the way your kids helping you out. Remember working the taro plantation back home in Manu’a Haven’t seen any girls doing what your girls can do. Bless them. Living in Texas now but never forget the way of life.

[@wiilli7685]

The youth everywhere need to watch and learn what hard work, discipline, family values and tradition your kids are showing. Properly raised and cultural upbringing youths are the start of a rich and healthy future. Great work on getting your kids start on the right foot for their future. 💯💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸 Alofa atu.

My beautiful Niuen people I want some of those nice ulis on the truck, back in Samoa! our best Taros were the Niuen Taros!…( Talo Niue ) malo le galue👌👌👌👌alofa atu from Hamilton NZ👌👌👍👍

[@MrJoegib]

Absolutely, Talo Niue is #1 in Samoa but sad there is no more Talo Niue in Samoa after the Leaf Blight that hit the talo plants all over Samoa except the Talo Manu'a, Talo Pa'epa'e & Talo Palagi. All the new talos in Samoa now are Laboratory-made or Scientific Talo.

Yes, the rain feels amazing and we love having a rainbath when it is raining heavily. (Will do a video on it one day!) We also now and again bottle rainwater for drinking as it's the best and can't be beaten!

How long do you leave your taro in the ground for?

[@LifeOnTheRockNiueIsland]

From 6-12months, depending on the taro variety.

[@DOX83UK]

The root of the taro you left on when you clean it? Is it preserve it?

[@LifeOnTheRockNiueIsland]

Not really to preserve.... we normally leave it on small hulis.

[@jaycavalevu5780]

Very rarely but mostly not.
