Visiting New Roots Haiti - A Modern Farm near Cap Haitien - SeeJeanty

In this special episode of SeeJeanty, we are taking you outside to the provinces to visit New Roots Haiti.
A farm that is bringing industry best practices to chicken and produce raising to the provinces of Cap Haitien.
We spend time with owner Nick Stolberg and get to learn of the marvelous work he is doing. Employing over 50+ staff and impacting the community with hundreds of secondary jobs, this is the exact sort of story we LOVE highlighting on SeeJeanty.
Come gather and lets watch.

I'm at my aunt's house watching this video with the fam and she LOVES you! My whole family does. Anyway she shared a story that recently happened. She was at Bible study and some of church ladies were complaining that Haiti is for the dogs. My aunt jumped up and whipped out her phone and put on SeeJeanty and so they could watch it. She told them they should be ashamed of themselves to speak of Haiti like that. She said, "You see this young, good looking man he could be making millions in the US but he loves our country and he's the hope of Haiti! What are you doing for Haiti?" I thought you might enjoy that story 😊

[@SeeJeanty]

This comment means a lot, thank you :)

[@klwthe3rd]

Sadly, most people only see the depressing side of 🇭🇹 Haiti and don't try to invest more time into learning more. The US media has a grasp on the narrative and honestly they don't want you to know about the real story. Haiti has been used and suppressed by most colonial powers and they want to continue to do so for their own benefit. SeeJeanty is one of the few KZbin creators that I feel really cares about the health of the nation. Because of him and his videos, I look forward to the day when I will move there to live and enjoy that sacred beautiful country. 😍

Families that can feed their children won't need orphanages. Look out for scams but supporting a growing business will not be a donation but an ongoing investment.

I am going to say this only once, so pull up seat: Haiti is going to take an all hands on deck to get it where it needs to be. Anyone who doesn't understand that, can unsubscribe. Take that race baiting and Xenophobic stuff to Tariq Nasheed. This channel isn't about that. I've featured everyone, from black Haitians, Mulattos, African Americans, White Americans, and Dominicans. I don't give a flying f*ck where you come from. What I care about is how many jobs your bringing to the country. Most of you parent-basement-living-commentaries haven't even visited Haiti once their whole lives, but you have the odas to comment nonsense to someone actually in Haiti making impact? This channel is to showcase whats being done, and what you can do to help impact. If your a black Haitian, GREAT. But if you're not, your just as welcomed. -- And this ain't no back forth either. I'm not looking to convince anyone. I'm telling you what it is, and those feel differently, don't comment back, as you will be blocked from every commenting on this channel again. Go through your complex feelings of inferiority with your therapist. Just unsubscribe. We have actual work to do for Haiti on this side.

[@klwthe3rd]

Please keep in mind ALL of Haiti 🇭🇹 is not this way. The North has been relatively immune from the gang violence but recent report do show they are starting to amass roadblocks on the major highway near the coast from the South to the North. I pray that violence never reaches that far north. 🙏

We also have "by products" (I hate calling them that) that are sold to our village. For example a chicken carcass, if we remove the meaty parts, there is still a bone carcass with some bits of meat still attached. This is sold to our neighbors who will boil it down and use it for soups and sauces.. We also sell chicken feet, gizzards, hearts, and liver. These are sold for a very low cost, affordable for anyone in our village.

My Floridian brother by way of Haiti, how are you doin? Preciate your vid about this chicken farm. Was wondering how the gentleman manages to keep this operation going with all the challenges with gas and all?

[@NewRootsHaiti]

It's a daily challenge for sure, and no credit should be given to me. Our focus is to help elevate a community and help them out of poverty. This being said our farm is run by the people within our community not me. They are the ones seeing the benefits of the farm, and they are ones who choose to come to work every day. The instability wipes away all operational efficiency and makes just coming to work hard. I am amazed daily at the resilience of dedication of the staff that make New Roots operate. Secondly, food is a critical need, we feel it is very important to do all we can to keep raising chickens even in the hard time to keep food going to our clients.

[@phaldamorris6221]

Maybe I'm being too sensitive but this statement at 8:15 rubs me the wrong way. The whole education system is based on repetition? That's how Haitians learn?

[@greblots1]

Hi Phalda, not trying to rub anyone the wrong way, but have you ever personally attended or visited a Haitien school? How would you describe it?

[@greblots1]

I have spent 6 of my years in Haiti living adjacent to a school. While I am not directly involved in the education system in Haiti, it is something that I am aware of. What I see, hear and experience are my own opinions and perceptions. I hear a teacher saying 2+2 is 4, and then I hear the children say back in perfect unison, 2+2 is 4. I hear this over and over again, across all types of different subjects. My personal education was based more on pillars of critical thinking and problem solving. I am not trying to argue a right or wrong type of system, because I truly believe that there is a need for both. My point in talking about this, is that aid being brought to Haiti needs to be contextually appropriate. Bringing in a company to do Computer coding will not work in rural Haiti, but will work in Port au Prince. When we started NRH we did not do it because we were passionate about raising chickens, we strategically contemplated ideas that would fit the culture, the workforce, the market space, and build communities with the people in them. Being aware of not only the education levels of your workforce, but also how they learn is critical to create inclusive working environments, and ultimently success within the operation.

[@GegeP1804]

@@greblots1 if that is so, when I came to the USA, school was not a challenge to me at all. Math and science was easier and felt like I wasn’t even being challenged. Idk what school you attended in Haiti, but a good school in Haiti will prepare you well. There are some repetition, but I have learn to memorize well with that, but definitely not only repetitive things are being thought.

[@Yor6ure]

​@@GegeP1804 I would say math and french were strong ...I went to a good school, but any type of science was lacking. I went to school between Canada and Haiti twice...what is said is not untrue. The critical thinking piece of school is lacking. The regurgitation is top notch.

[@negbefla6956]

Appreciate Stolberg' effort and persistence, *but* he should reconsider the broiler portion of his operation. Haitian Broiler Group recently pulled out Haiti. Why not try native chicken or even rabbits? Broilers need expensive feed, vaccination, and other input costs. Why not try native birds?

[@NewRootsHaiti]

Great question! The Cornish Cross (White) Chicken has been bread to grow very big very fast. It has the best FCR (Food Conversion Ratio) of any species. This ratio compares the pound of feed (Inputs) to pound of outputs. No other chicken is as efficient. The second reason is time. A "Native" Bird species, or what someone might call a dual purpose bird like the Rhode Island Reds are great chickens, but they take twice as long to grow. This would mean that our costs to care for, and house them would be double and therefore our chicken would be even more expensive. The speed and efficiency of the cornish cross is why both Haitien Broiler farmers as well as New Roots choose to raise them for broiler production. Vaccinations are only required for large houses. We do not vaccinate or provide any antibiotics to our chickens because they don't need them using this style.

[@negbefla6956]

@@NewRootsHaiti Does NRH has a readily available, accessible and affordable supply of corn? Corn in Haiti is seasonal. Prices varies wildly between seasons. Where will NRH get broiler chicks now that HBG is leaving Haiti? Does NRH realize importation of chicks from the DR is a fickle proposition subject to the whim of Port au Prince-Santo Domingo back and forth? There are special license from Ministries in Port au Prince that are near impossible to obtain. Does NRH has those importation papers? Broiler chicks need additives that are patented. How will NRH get those components? The surplus dark meat (legs, wings, necks) importers who are supplying chicken pieces to Haiti through brokers selling for Tyson etc buy surplus meat a a steep discount and resale in Haiti. Can NRH match their price point? How will NRH scale up to reach the volume necessary to reduce it's input costs per broiler with mobile coops holding only 50 broilers when typical broiler house operation hold 5,000 to 50,000 broilers. How is the absence of tourism in Haiti impacting sales? The grow fast broiler model hasn't worked for anyone in Haiti including HBG. Competing against imported surplus dark meat from the states is a non starter. Lowering the input price per broiler will require intensive reading with all the headaches that accompanies that. Native birds take longer, but it is more sustainable than broilers.

[@NewRootsHaiti]

@@negbefla6956 Thanks for all the follow up questions, I will do my best to respond to each of them. 1. Do we have a supply of Corn? - We have some, but not to the level that we would like, We are working with local farmers to help them produce more to sell to us. Annually we purchase corn from well over 100 farmers. We have the ability to test for aflatoxins, and a silo that can store around 80,000 lbs of corn. 2. Where will we get chicks now that Haiti Broilers is leaving? - We only purchased from Haiti Broilers a few times, they have not had an office/distribution site in Cap Haitien for maybe 1-2 years now. 3. Do you realize that importing chickens from the DR is difficult? - Yes absolutely, I have taken a deep dive into what it would take for us to produce our own, however, the ingenuity, creativity, and resilience of other Haitien business people have maintained a nearly uninterrupted supply of chicks through all the ups and downs of Haiti. NRH is a relatively small purchaser of chicks when compared to all the chicken farms in northern Haiti. NRH does not import chicks. There is also now incubation happening at the Industrial park in Caracol which is fantastic because now only eggs need to be transported, and the chicks have less distance to travel to all of the farms in the north. 4. We do not feed the chicks any patented additives. We do have vitamins and minerals that are mixed in with our feed. We source them from an organic producer out of the east coast. They make up 1.5% of the feed by weight so very minimal. We also source some minerals locally in Haiti such as Limestone and Salt. 5. How can NRH compete against Tyson and their low cost? - Another fantastic questions. Quick answer: We don't! No farmer in Haiti will EVER be able to produce chicken cheaper than Tyson. We are on an island, everything must be imported, and Haiti has the lowest tariffs for imported chicken than anywhere else in the Caribbean. NRH does not compete in the market space of low cost chicken. We are competing on quality and service. It is a niche market, and not for everyone. Our vision is not to become a kingpin of chicken production, but rather to produce a product that fills a hole in the marketplace. 6. How will NRH scale up to compete with modern chicken barns? - We wont, and we don't have any desire too. 7. How has the absence of tourism affected sales? - Again, all credit goes to the hardworking staff on the farm. When our markets have changed we have always found new places to sell our chicken. Restaurants and Hotels have only been a small share of our sales. 8. The broiler model has not worked for anyone. - This is more of your opinion and a statement. I would disagree, and I believe it is working for alot of Haitien farmers all over the North. I think the poultry industry as a whole has been growing, and the recent addition to a hatching facility in Caracol is in my mind proof of that. 9. Native birds take longer but are more sustainable. - I agree that native birds take longer, but i think sustainability is questionable. The idea of keeping some birds as breeding stock, having an incubation facility and producing your own chicks sounds fantastic, but the costs associated with this are much much higher than purchasing chicks. The additional costs for housing and husbandry and feed would also be substantial,. The consumer would need to absorb these higher costs for your business to function and I personally don't know if people are willing to pay that much more for a chicken. It would be sustainable in theory, but in practicality I think you would have a hard time finding consumer willing to pay that much more. This is Just MY opinion, and I am just a small scale farm, so take it for what its worth.. Again, thanks for the questions and I wish you well!

C. Colombus came to Haiti in 1492. Not the 16th Century...

You are right. However, I doubt that within 9 years they had converted the Cap Haitian valley to commercial farm land which is why I generally refer to sugarcane production starting up in the 16 Century and not the 15th.. Thanks for the catch!

Please share more! Would love to see how your farming local chickens profitably. If you eat our chicken you may see that it's not the problem of the chicken, but a problem with the husbandry. Chickens should not live in crammed, toxic environments. How can we expect to grow a clean, good product in that environment. By using the same chicken with a fundamentally different husbandry model we are benefiting from a faster growing chicken that is healthy, quicker growing and tastes amazing. Having a local breeding stock is something we are working on and I would expect that next year we will start hatching eggs here.
