Soy orgullosa de mi gente! Que viva Puerto Rico y que Dios bendiga esta linda familia.
Beautiful island beautiful people❤️❤️
MANY AMERICANS WILL STARVE BEFORE THEY DO MANUAL LABOR..SAD! foreigners feed themselves, they take care of themselves..asking no one for nothing....self preservation..the #1 rule people!
Lisa M Very true!
Lisa M meh.... it’s debatable.
Lisa M
Amen to that..
What a beautiful and honorable family.
Que familia tan bella y honorable.
Iam so proud of you God bless your family
This is what real happiness is. We have become so materialistic that we have become very unhappy individuals. This true happiness
follow your heart if you are determined to stick to your happiness you got this. you just got to be smart about it and take advantage of the material things to get where you need to get. get my drift?
@@rosenieves4655 Get my drift?????? What do you mean. Did you just drift away from your thoughts. My comment I think was commendable. Get my drift?
The essence of natural beauty and wisdom.
Good Bless Puerto Rico! A beautiful humble people. I am proud of my heritage.
My respect! Humble!
My father lives in rural Puerto Rico and they have: coconuts, mangos, papayas, cilantro, pineapples, pigeon peas, jobos (fruit), chickens (& eggs), passion fruit on the property and across the road...tangerines, star fruit, guava, root vegetables, PR hot peppers and it keeps going.
It rains daily around 2-4am and also in the afternoons and practically anything you throw on the ground, grows. There was an avocado tree, but Maria wasn’t kind to it :(
Ka Gala what about beans? Can you grow black beans?
@@spiritualhumanist Want beans? Put the plant in dirt and the plant does de rest, you literally don't have to do anything, just plant it and get the beans.
There has to be platanos near by.
@@strekorodriguez9619 Seeds grow really fast so you don't have to start the plants and then put them in the ground.
How much success have you had pre-planting bean seeds indoors? I'd like to know.
@@happydays1336 I have never planted beans lol I just know that
What a wonderful story. Good luck to this family. I hope that the sustainable farming will increase on the island.
So beautiful!
I grew up like this🇵🇷🙌🏼
Wow such beautiful people with beautiful hair, beautiful skin, beautiful features, Puerto Ricans truly are some of the most beautiful people in the world.

It is heartbreaking to see my people suffer, but inspirational as well when we witness how they refuse to quit striving to make a better life not only for themselves but for others as well.
God bless you! america is with you. ❤
Queridos hermanos boricuas los felicito por tener una granja y enseñarle a la humanidad q se puede hacer los sueños de bivir en PR ,nuestra patria. Dios los bendiga mucho saludos.
Me encanto este vídeo que familia mas linda saludos y bendiciones
Gracias, ejemplo de boricuas buenos y productivos..Dios los bendiga😍
Me encanta vivir haci mi isla y muchas bendiciones para esa familia humilde me encanta su trabajo
If that's not paradise, what is?
J de la Cruz that it is not paradise it is a lot of hard work
Maria Ram working hard is not bad if you love what you do. Living of the land and literally reaping the fruits of your labor in a beautiful land with a beautiful family. Getting up in the morning to fresh air and love. They are living in paradise.
J de la Cruz Agree. My father lives in the “campo” and he LOVES this sort of stuff and raising animals. Many people may consider it “hard work”, but if you like what you do, it’s not a “curse”. Besides....the beauty of the tropics does not hurt.
Yep, the smell of the fresh morning air in the countryside in those mountains is unparalleled.
Norbero Fontanez what do you mean?
suerte bella familia
Bendicciones para esta familia.
Me encantan ver videos como este!..Pa' lante mi gente bella!
I love Puerto Ricans ❤️... Very nice helpful people. . They misbehave like the rest of us... But they're not malicious.
They are very good friends ... Much love to any one of you that read this. Glad to have known you all.
Having most of the food coming from over seas, it is definitely scary. Even so, I miss my island and it's people.
Francisco López
It has been that way for decades that's why this project, what this family and other families are doing is so important and necessary.
This is what makes Puerto Rico and their people beautiful. :)
The simpler life is the best life to live if you live it in a peaceful place that is a real god's blessing.
Otomi Chato the
the. earth. will. be peaceful and
beautiful. again the way it was meant to be. no more hate , no more war, sickness , or hunger, pain or death .all mankind will be at peace with one another.
yessssssssssss I agree
Man I love my culture and more importantly my people 🇵🇷
Que hermosa y trabajadora familia
I applaud what you are doing there on our island. The first thing I thought about was how were the people going to eat after the hurricane. Then I remembered as a child when I went there that people were growing and selling their own food. There are so many ways that more people can do what you guys do. This is the answer to solving the food shortage issue and to be self sustaining.
DIOS TE BENDIGA MI ISLA. PALANTE MI GENTE.
After visiting Cuba i can certify that a lot of people there live like this. They lack a lot of modern things but they are happy and always happy tk share the little that they have with others.
It's not everyone's lifestyle but it would benefit many if they could make it so.
true and we can manage to adapt, we just need patience and faith.
Mis abuelos por los dos Lados de las familias eran AGRONOMOS, no Abuelo exportaba chinas y otros productos a FLORIDA, USA, todavia tenemos sus tierras, ellos Vivian de sus cosechas en PEÑUELAS, PR. me encantan ir al CAMPO. Yo ahora siembro en USA solo para no Familia consumo, ALGUNAS cosas se Dan otras no.me encanta sembrar nunca lo habits hecho pues soy de la ciudad y ahora vivo en el campo. Siembro nuestra calabaza y watermelon y tomates y trato otros vegetales y flores tambien es mucho trabajo pero cosechar es muy lindo y comer los productos es sabroso.
Dios bendiga a su bella familia, ustedes son RICOS, quiero que entiendan esto muy bien. LOS Felicito. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Hey thanks for highlighting my comments again so sweet.☺
Tremendo Orgullo!! Esos niños estan pasando la mejor infancia que existe. DIOS siga bendiciendo esta familia.
Love living like this. Been growing my own stuff here on the island for a few years now and its the best reward.
Para que el mundo lo sepa El verdadero boricua no se rinde ante la adversidad asi es que se vive humilde trabajadores preciosa famila.si el 90 porciento de nosotros hiciera lo mismo esta Isla seria el paraiso.
Asi mismo.
el boricua tenemos corazon de leon y espuelas de gallos somos guerreros
keishla Rodriguez eso esss
Lo ciento muchacho el capitalismo no lo permite nesecita dinero si el 90 Porcierto de los Puertoriqueños actuaran asi ellos se encargan de destruirlos
Norbero Fontanez aprende a escribir so bruto tu eres tu propio enemigo bruto.
Ay tan hermoso 😍🇵🇷
Imagine if every home and every school had at least an indoor vertical garden and a few solar panels. Great video! Makes me want to live and work on such a farm, learning a ton along the way from people like Francis and Rolando. I spent 11 years in PR and love it there!! Mi orgullo
Quiero ir!!!
Hermosa familia. Dios los bendiga y los proteja siempre ❤️
Puerto Rico is absolutely beautiful but the people there are even more beautiful then the island I went on vacation years ago and every where we visited on that island we were treated like royalty! Not once did we have to ask for a drink the hospitality is just something I've never seen! We were invited to dine at every home we visited and I have to say that it's truly a great thing when your visiting and the hostess just wants to share the bounty of delicious foods we never really get to eat in the states! I often get a little sad thinking that these wonderful people have suffered without electricity and clean water and food cause I was fed so much while I was there. They would get offended if you said "No Thank you I ate at restaurant. One lady said "Pues then you have to stay till lunch because I'm going to make a feast for all of you ! I love Puerto Rico..can't wait to go back. God bless all the island and the people always.
BEE REAL your words touch me thanks for your comment you are one of us God bless
I spent like 13 winters traveling the island from head to toe. Everywhere we went we were treated like kings. We met people and an hr later they were offering their keys to their house to us. Best people in the world. Very proud of their island and proud to be Americans through and through. Best of the best. If everyone was starving and someone had 100 pieces of rice 100 people would get 1 piece. The best! God Bless Pr!
I was not born in PR but was raised there, I can tell you they welcome everyone with open arms and treat you like family. That will always be my home in my heart.
BEE REAL True! My father lives over there, and he said that everyone was giving the electricity workers from Texas and Colorado food, water and AFTER they were done with their work, beer. This of course despite the fact that they didn’t have much of it or had to wait in lines. He, himself, would go and buy water to give to them. It’s just something that is VERY engraved in PR mentality and it’s almost rude to not offer others something that you have, even if you are not very affluent.
BEE REAL thank you
Esta familia me llana de orgullo de representar la humildad y el amor por nuestro pais Puertorico ,tienen una riqueza que el dinner no puede comprar.
Excellent! I wish this beautiful family nothing but the best!
Dios me los bendiga mucho, mucho!!!...
Felicidades!!
Que la precencia de nuestro creador este con ustedes y les siga dando sabiduria y mucho amor.
Tobacco is not healthy! What they are doing is good! Food is what people need to live!! This video is awesome! I hope you can have electric power soon and especially a cistern, to have enough supply of water!!! Arriba paisanos!! Yo se que se puede!!
When there's a will , there's a way may God bless this family .
This is what I truly call real survivor.
Hey Nelly I just install a solar generator for them. Thanks to awesome people we got a donation and gave them solar energy...!!!
Javier Camacho Genial. Responsabilidad social y trabajo comunitario. Aplauso para ti y gente como tú q hacen la diferencia.
That are not tobacco, that its "kale".
Javier Camacho that is awesome!!! Electric power is a great necessity!! You gave them a good gift!! Thank you!!

Tears came to my eyes just knowing that my grandparents raise me this way n I'm in the states living a lot different n praying one day I can come home to do gods work n what I was raise to do which is the agricultural work..its the best way to live believe me..😍😉💯
Humilde pero felices, la riqueza no viene de las cosas materiales, viene de la madre tierra. Que Viva Puerto Rico Libre!!!!
David Bottman. Esa frase me encanto, la riqueza viene de madre tierra
Thank GOD for people like this! So refreshing to see....
Agricultura familiar,, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 manos ariba,,,conducta y tradicion ,,y que viva borinquen,, saludos desde la Esmeralda del sur Patillas,,,❤️✌️👍🙏🇵🇷🌴🏡🌴
Beautiful.
wao esea es mi cultura cuanto daria yo por vivir de esa manera
I live in Vieques pr an i love the people of Puerto Rico. I love Puerto Rico. My baby Wilbur loves the beach. (Puerto Rico strong) Maria was no joke my friends.
I was very worried about food even though I had cash I didn't have where to buy food because everything was closed. This year I am preparing just in case.
What a beautiful way of living, honestly. I think the world could learn a lot from this family and families alike.
La mejor forma de vivir es esta.manteniendose humilde.es uno de Los mejores conosimiento,todo tenemos q aprender de cojo vivir de el Isla como Ellos lo hacer y le an enseñado a sus hijos.
De verdad, que ustedes son un ejemplo a seguir.
Muchas gracias por el video que es muy hermoso y de verdad es muestra que al vivir naturalmente y respetando la madre tierra se puede vivir muy bien y estar saludable.
Gracias y buena suerte.
Jaime

The children will learn agriculture from their parent as well.Farming is the greatest art one can practice......
It remined me my growing in Puerto Rico during the 2World War.Both parents worked in Old San Juan we lived in the city but had a yard where my Dad raised chickens, his cousin brought milk every Sunday from his farm and we could make butter. Rice was scarce and when it arrived had to be well washed.An Roots(yautia,yame,platanos,guineos y fruits were always available in the yard. On august 20th. My 87th.Birthday missing my island but so proud of being Puertorican.
Que DIOS los bendiga
este video me da esperanza 💖💖
muy linda familia
I love my people💘. Organic is the way to go and fight back, i wish many more can join your initiative.
Puerto Rico is a very small island, but full of talent, beauty and good hearted people.
Good people like in your country... But with identity and culture of more than 500 years. Willing to defend her literally with everything.
Que Orguyo tan Grande.!
Si consideran venir a USA, agamnme saber .
Estoy Dispuesto a ayudarlos .!
Tremendo 👏
Soo beautiful pure n peacefull.I remember living like that when I lived in Puerto Rico as a child growing up n I loved it.I hate the fact that I was taken away from my natural roots of living in pr to get a better life in another country to wich I am very grateful for but I really love n miss my island.
Keep it up guys God bless
Amazing
