Best Organic Farm in Cuba - Finca Marta Video (HD)

Finca Marta - Havana, Cuba
Atop a hill just 18 miles from Havana sits Finca Marta, an organic farm perched on the forefront of the agroecology movement in Cuba. Farmer Fernando Funes believes sustainable farming is the future of agriculture in his country, and he's knocking on the door of making it happen. His farm supplies 30 restaurants in Havana, and he's not finished!
For more about the history of organic farming and the use of pesticides in Cuba, chack out this video:

    Thanks! I just got back from a second visit there and will be posting an in-depth interview with Fernando Funes soon. He's doubled his honey output and tripled his number of farms since that first vid!

    You should watch the Oasis Nelva video. The owner talks about their development of non-chemical pesticides :)

    They have a Facebook page....There are artisan food tours that can be booked where you go out and have a meal....I think he may be getting away from that, though, as he's so busy! He liked doing it because he felt it was important to spread the word internationally about what they are doing, but last time we spoke, he felt it was a time-suck....

    I was a little kid when Fidel tell the Cubans farmers to get out of the farm and come to the city. so they did most of rural cuba in this days are unproductive lands and the citizens hate the farm life. it’s sad because Cuba has such a beautiful farms.

    It's so true that people in every country, not just Cuba, have gotten away from understanding the process of working the land. Have you seen the other two videos on my channel about this farmer? kzread.info/dash/bejne/c3aZzpSOo6jXlbg.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/dnhnqciipdaairg.html

    Thanks for the nice words :) In the beginning, I was doing longer videos, but it seems most people prefer to click on shorter ones :( I'd love to release 1/2 hour shows on particular destinations!

    Haha! I will say, though, that the Cubans like the classic cars themselves, too. BTW - I spent an entire day on a horse while in Cuba, but there's no substitute for cruising i that classic '55!
