Farm To Table In Rural Jamaica, Time To Enjoy Our Harvest!

We're retired in rural Jamaica, and today we take the time to enjoy some of the fruits of our labor...literally. The boys are off to school, Dave is off to an exam, and Mahrez, our grandson, is over for the day. Sonia and I set about making a couple of new concoctions today, and Mario helps us pick the cauliflower from our backyard. Dave helps to feed the chickens, Junior tries his best to get his new shoes, and Craig dances like no one is watching. Just another adventurous day in Jamaica. Richness is Life.

    Junior is a very smart child. Give him time to deal with his fears. Sonia, please give him a hug. He needs assurance that he's loved. The chickens are showing their love by giving you eggs. Keep talking to them. They'll produce enough for their food.

    I love the concept of their videos. Love the farm to table idea and raising the children to appreciate and participate in the chores and taking care of the farm etc. BUT, I feel Sonia could lighten up a bit. It's like she is angry all the time. I just started to watch them and i want to subscribe but I'll wait.

    I always said that Junior is very close to Sonia. The boys have their own personalities, Eating the plantains by themselves is not a healthy breakfast for the kids before they go to school. They should be able to get up and boil an egg for themselves. They need protein to complete their diet ! WOW, 72 eggs (6 dozens) in what ? 4 weeks?. I always cook cauliflower rice. BTW, Junior looks NICE in his sneakers.

    Setee for Jamaica and couch or sofa for America, let them keep their furniture names it's not wrong or right it's just cultural differences😁😁Continue farming as that is what will cure hunger in the Future. Jamaican parents top teaching their young boys to farm so when Bill Gates start making his lab scientific foods and sending it all over the world, when they farm they won't be affected by the poison coming from America going to third world countries......

    There are few schools/centres across Jamaica that offer that service. There are school clusters, and if his school doesn't do the assessment, then he will have to go to the site in his school cluster or centre to get his assessment done.

    Tyler, is there any kind of program in your community such as Cub Scout, Boys Scout the boys can join. I saw Craig marching and that idea came to my mind. It teaches discipline and responsibility. Just a thought. I also agree with the other subscriber about eating a protein with their breakfast. You can also use the cauliflower to make fried rice. I am sure you should be able to find a recipe on KZread or even Pinterest. You already have lots of eggs and scallions .
