    20:35 you can take all the leftover fruit from making vinegar or juice or jelly‘s jams take the leftover fruit mash it up real good spread it across some thing and then put it over the fire and eventually it’ll dry out until like a freeze dried like material you just break it up put it into a jar and eat it like you would eat a granola bar can take several different fruits and vegetables and do this and then make a trail mix to have while you’re out working on the farm

      Yeah this was filmed a while ago, but since then the use of plastic gloves ended up solving the problem and we're now we are able to harvest the mature papayas.

    Never-never land is a place of increasing crime. And Costa-Rica has no armed forces. Think about the risks and dangers. These young people are sitting ducks.

    • @FarmedandForaged
      @FarmedandForaged  3 роки тому +12

      Yes as far as you're concerned. As far as I'm concerned, living off-grid while having access to water, power, and food, and not being reliant on systems that are vulnerable to collapse (initially in the case of war/disaster), puts me in a much more resilient position for coming changes in the world. But you're entitled to your own perspective and we don't share the same fears.

    Hey guys, wonderful tour video, and so inspirational, can u tell me why the mango tree is not fruiting? Is it that mango's in general don't fruit in this part of costa rica at the coast near panama? Am asking because I'm thinking of becoming a steward of a land over there and am researching which crops/plants can or can not grow in specific regions, Much love

    • @FarmedandForaged
      @FarmedandForaged  Рік тому +1

      Every plant is different, and I would say that something like a mango can produce fruit anywhere in the tropics, it just depends how it is taken care of. This mango was never properly pruned to encourage fruiting. If it was, I am sure it could produce fruit in that climate (we actually had a mango tree at this farm start fruiting a year after we heavily pruned it).
      In general, it is smart to focus on crops that you know will grow well in your area because they require little maintenance, and you can quickly learn what these plants are by looking at what your neighbors have growing!

    • @FarmedandForaged
      @FarmedandForaged  3 роки тому +1

      I don't think it was ever pruned during its earlier stages of growth, which could have a lot to do with it.

    • @FarmedandForaged
      @FarmedandForaged  3 роки тому

      Thank you! We're not. It actually takes an incredible amount of any plant to make a single vile of essential oil! Though we have a lot, we aren't growing it for production, but rather for the plants serving their purpose while growing.
