Living Off The Land: How These Puerto Rican Farmers Survived The Storm | NBC Latino | NBC News
Que familia tan hermosa!!!!!! Sus voces dicen mucho de lo que son por dentro, una gente muy tranquila y con sentimientos muy lindos me imagino.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Beautiful people, that I'm proud to be a Puerto Rican 💗💗💗💗💗💗
I love Puerto Rico. I met so manny great people there. I was amazed with their generosity. God Bless!!!! I wish I could live there. It's so beautiful and the food is delicious. My love and respect to all Purto Rican's. Stay strong and God bless you!!!!!
More people need to learn to live like this.
That is what I am doing in the mountains of East Europe
@@svetlanikolova7673 may i ask where in east europe? Me and my boyfriend are planning to change our lives✌
@@WitchOnABroomstick Bulgaria high mountains of Rebrovo province! That is 20 min by car from Svoge!

Really humble people. God bless this family and my Island
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!!!

Nolberto Cales yes respects my Puerto Rico

What a beautiful way of living, honestly. I think the world could learn a lot from this family and families alike.
What a beautiful family. They are so happy with what they have. May they be blessed with a wonderful crop so they can continue to help those around them with food. Puerto Rico se levanta!
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
Wow trabajadores humilde que Dios los bendiga por su bella labor !!!!!
Siempre! Son gente con conciencia y autenticidad.
Can’t you offer anything other than “blessings”, what good are they?
@@josephmotta3921 SOMOS.
Everyone should start doing this. Loved the story. May God keep blessing them. ❤
Gracias, YO YA NO VIVO EN PUERTO RICO , PERO ASI FUE QUE ME CRIE SEMBRANDO, RECOGIENDO LA SIEMBRA, Y ALIMENTANDONOS DE LA SIEMBRA, CUANDO ME CRIABA..ERA BELLO.YA ESOS VALORES SE HAN PERDIDO.Y DISFRUTAR DE EL CALIENTE DEL CARIBE ES EL REGALO MAS LINDO, DE LA NATURALEZA!! Y DE DIOS , QUE HIZO TODO PERFECTO!!!

God please continue to help the land of Puerto Rico , Hawaii and any state of America , and any country that needs your help in Jesus name I pray Amen !!! Peace , love and much respect to everyone around the globe , God bless you all out there !
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
Excellent! I wish this beautiful family nothing but the best!
El que cultiva la tierra nunca los alimentos les faltaran, bendiciones para todos good job.
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
My respect! Humble!
Dios Los Bendiga!!!Siempre Pa'Lante!!Que Viva Puerto Rico!!Jente Trabajadora!!
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
I’m bringing solar energy to this family today......!!!
¡Excelente Javier! Estoy viendo tus videos. Bendecido seas.
Javier Camacho God bless you abundantly! Thank you.
God Bless you Javier!
That is wonderful. How beautiful to see people be so kind♡
Iam so proud of you God bless your family
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.
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.
Esa vida es un lujo....todo
Natural....sin quimico...esta brutal
God bless this beautiful people.
Love you Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. God bless.
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.
What a wonderful story. Good luck to this family. I hope that the sustainable farming will increase on the island.
What a beautiful and honorable family.
Que familia tan bella y honorable.
Te amo Puerto Rico! Most beautiful place I know!

Norbero Fontanez aprende a escribir so bruto tu eres tu propio enemigo bruto.

It's not everyone's lifestyle but it would benefit many if they could make it so.

Gracias, ejemplo de boricuas buenos y productivos..Dios los bendiga😍
May. GOD give you strength to continue. Viva Puerto Rico
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.
Farmers/Ranchers in Puerto Rico we call them Jibaros, me being a Jibaro myself lol. This video makes me so so proud of my Puerto Rico, this is the real Puerto Rico i know🇵🇷❤
Personas como uds es q necesitamos en Puerto Rico y el mundo entero. Dlb
Que Dios los bendiga siempre. Viva Puerto Rico libre y soberano!!! 💪🏼🇵🇷
Agricultura familiar,, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 manos ariba,,,conducta y tradicion ,,y que viva borinquen,, saludos desde la Esmeralda del sur Patillas,,,❤️✌️👍🙏🇵🇷🌴🏡🌴
Orgullo boricua!!!Dios los bendiga👍👍👏👏👏
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.
suerte bella familia
Bendicciones para esta familia.
Me encanto este vídeo que familia mas linda saludos y bendiciones
God bless you! america is with you. ❤
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. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

Que Hermoso!!!! la vida es mas sana y mas economica. Los admiro.
It appears everyone wants to work in a office...not knowing this is the best way and riches way of life...its called freedom. God Bless This Family...
Gracias por la oportunidad de ver la otra cara de la isla la que la mayoría del mundo no ve y sigan adelante con su proyecto de vida y a ver si otros siguen su paso para un Puerto Rico independiente del desastre de la colonia mil bendiciones a ustedes de corazón 👍
What a beautiful family
Que Orguyo tan Grande.!
Si consideran venir a USA, agamnme saber .
Estoy Dispuesto a ayudarlos .!
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.
This brought tears to my eyes. This is the way I grew up. I love that life style.
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..😍😉💯
Les felicito, Dios les bendiga grandemente, q orgullo, y q amor tan grande a la vida, todo ser humano deberia pensar de la misma manera, los admiro, wow 😊 👍 saludos desde Milwaukee Wisconsin
Amazing!!! Grassroots!!! My island.. my forever love. This video transpires peace in the mist of caos, hope in the mist of worrisome and optimism. ❤. PUERTO RICO SE LEVANTA
