Somehow I have missed this video several months back! It's good to hear from you guys! I can't believe how much your plants have grown! I've never seen a purple sweet potato oh, it is so beautiful! Thank you for all your good tips! I can hardly wait to live in the country again!
Just amazing what you two have managed to accomplish so quickly. We live in North Texas with long hot summers and winters that can be very unpredictable. I’m not sure what we can actually grow quickly, it would depend on the time of year I think. We did plant eight fruit trees this spring according to the Ellen White method. We are growing potatoes in bags and tomatoes in a raised bed and a few other vegetables. We are learning as we go. My God continue to bless you as we get nearer and nearer to the end!👑
I'm of your same faith and do embrace your ideology, it's amazing that what you're advertising is similar ideas I am embarking on to develop my country living farm, I wish more of our people can buy in to what you are promoting. May God continue to enlarge His people who are adhering to His teaching.
This is great information for fast-tracking our food growing. We're in a humid subtropical zone, but I think a lot of these would grow well here also. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge and experience with us all.
Awesome. Growing them under a roof eave and close to the exterior wall of a building can help them survive in moderately cold environments. Some varieties are more cold tolerant than others. Wish you all the best!
Thank you for sharing information in a more kinder way without alarming us. I know we are all worried about food security in this day, but you were amazing
Excellent and informative video. So happy to see God's blessings on the fruits of your labor! I'm getting ready to plant my first tree using the Ellen White method of planting fruit trees. I would love to know of your experience on this method.
I’m in a suburban area on Oahu, small garden (mostly raised bed and pots) and growing papaya (still in big pots, but ready to go in the ground), dwarf banana, and a lot of sweet potatos (garnet and purple Okinawan) and various greens/herbs. I will definitely plant a moringa tree and some Malabar spinach. I’m very concerned about food security in our state, and particularly this island. We had huge success with baby Bok choy in the past too. I also grow basil, perpetual spinach, okra and eggplant which thrive in my area. Amaranth grows as a weed in my area too. I would love to grow lilikoi but it would probably take over my tiny garden.
Great video guys...Planting trees which produce fruits that can be consumed both before an after ripe stage is a great step towards self sufficiency, Try planting Jackfruit, bread fruit, mangoes etc also plants which produce multiple crops a year also are great, try planting abiu, jaboticaba, acerola cherry, starfruit and many others
It is Sabbath now. With rain falling, one can just be at peace and talk with God. Ah. And that food jungle there by you guys, one can enjoy a few minutes alone talking with God under them big trees. A white pineapple sounds like good something to try for Sabbath.
Hello Hermann. Thanks for sharing your sabbath with us. Curious what part of the world you are in. We are still about twelve hours till sabbath here…so sounds like you’re pretty far away (12 hours time difference)?
Hello Deda. Thanks for watching. I’ve visited South Africa a couple times in years past. Traveled much of the country. It was a nice experience. I have a number of friends in mafikeng.
Thanks for all the great info. Fruit trees are great for food security in most part of the world. Where we live, we can grow mainly apples, pears, and plums. God bless.
Hello. Appreciate your comment. Happy to share. You’ve got quite a bit of helpful info on your channel too. A large catalog really. Fruit growing is one of the primary positives of living in the tropics. Hundreds of varieties of fruits (though most people here only know a few). In this video we focus on ones that fruit in the shortest time possible. God bless.
been following your vlog always and really believed that self sufficiency through country living is the answer to life's hardship and healthy lifestyle these days.been dreaming to be in it longtime. where in particular in the big island are you in? and can you give me an insight on how much to own a piece of land there? thank you so much for your videos, very inspiring.
Hello Romulo. We appreciate the comment and happy you've been following our journey. Personally, we recommend the north east half of the island...though there are suitable places elsewhere. The costs can be all over the place, but currently, they are very high (starting at over a million dollars for acreage w/ a home in this region). Hopefully these prices will become more affordable in time, but you never know.
Sir I have one request! Sir iam from Andhra pradesh which is in India! Sir we have zoom and RUclips channel which is "ADVENTIST HOME MINISTRY". Even after watching your videos also I didn't have full clarity about country living like how much distance we should build house from cities, which type of plantation we should done etc... So if you have time, Please take our zoom classes about country living and your preparations and experiences . It's my humble request! Pardon me if there are any mistakes! I don't know much english! Thank you
Aloha guys! HELP US, our biggest concern is community and connection. It seems so big and spread out. Do you have any input on this topic? We have such a great Church family here on Kauai and would be sad to leave but we see changing times and values that homesteading would provide. Also, any other pointers about Big Island? My pregnant wife and I live on Kauai where I was born. We are seriously considering moving to the Big Island for the cheaper land prices and opportunities to live more sustainably. Were settled on some where between Hilo and Waimea. Thanks so much!
Hello Jonathan. Just saw your comment tonight. Thanks for writing. If you'd like to talk, drop me an email with your phone number at alohacountryliving gmail.com
The cassava root is not the only harvest you can get from cassava. The young leaves are perfectly edible. Taro need a little bit of care specially if you are using the stalks and leaves. It contains calcium oxalate which will make your mouth itch. Par boiling it in water leaches most of the compound. Drying the leaves works too.
Great video! Enjoyed seeing the food that grows so fast on this island. Will they grow as fast if we are in more of the rain forest area, say near Volcano?
Hi Joan. Thanks for writing. Higher elevations like volcano are a different environment. Many things will grow, but not everything. Generally, to grow the widest variety it’s recommended to buy land under 1,000 ft elevation. But plenty will grow at higher elevation, however I wouldn’t personally choose that due to a number of factors including less sunshine, increased rainfall, and some varieties of fruit not doing well there. Google Earth (desktop version) is a helpful tool to find the elevations.
Hi Ryan and Marina My name is Chris White. I had a home in KAPOHO also my friend moved to Pepeekeo and I would love to do something similar to what you’re doing. I’m coming up in a couple weeks and wondering if maybe I could take you out for a meal and meet you guys and see your place and get to See what our Lord has for a potential relationship
Hello Chris, Thanks for writing. Would be happy to help, however we're currently doing 14-16 hour days to push our home building/property development through to completion. It looks like we've still got several months of work remaining. If you'd like, you're welcome to email us at alohacountryliving at gmail. We wish you all the best and would be happy to interact as time allows.
Hello. We use different fertilizers for different things. In general, we use chicken and steer manures for most of our trees, bananas, papayas and vegetables.
Hello friends…What plants can you grow that produce food quickly in your area? Let us know.
Pumpkin, beans , corn , vegetables
My mouth is watering. Thanks!

Great video. I am planning the garden for our tropical homestead and this was very informative.
Miss your videos. Hope to see the next one Jehovah places on your heart. May the Lord continue to bless your family as you work together.

God bless you two for your amazing messages. so grateful for your advice.
I've planted 2 banana trees in Melbourne,Australia. It able grow well in cold climate and I cant wait till it flower & fruit.

You’re most welcome. Thanks for your comment and we wish you all the best!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences, please keep making video so as like me will learn from it.
Excellent and informative video. So happy to see God's blessings on the fruits of your labor! I'm getting ready to plant my first tree using the Ellen White method of planting fruit trees. I would love to know of your experience on this method.
Love seeing the progress you guys have made in your property. God has abundantly blessed your efforts.🙏
Thank you. We’re happy it helps others to see. It’s a testimony to the faithfulness of God and how He blesses when we do our part.

That's right , bananas shall feed the family perpetually. This is what it is in the tropics 💕
Woow God is good all the times

Thanks for the tips of other fruit to grow. Not sure where I’m headed yet, but need a warm climate-no snakes please. 😅
Also, my relatives eat bread fruit, jackfruit, star fruit in Jamaica. May I ask your location?
It is Sabbath now. With rain falling, one can just be at peace and talk with God. Ah. And that food jungle there by you guys, one can enjoy a few minutes alone talking with God under them big trees. A white pineapple sounds like good something to try for Sabbath.

Sabbath this side as well, SA and it's raining.... Thanks for the encouraging video guys....
Hello Deda. Thanks for watching. I’ve visited South Africa a couple times in years past. Traveled much of the country. It was a nice experience. I have a number of friends in mafikeng.
@@AlohaCountryLiving Hello :) we live in Southern Africa.
Quiet educational and motivational. I enjoy watching you guys. Happy sabbath lm in Cape Town.
Thank you, Happy Sabbath!
God bless you
We’ve put a few resource links in the video description.
I love seeing the papayas. Papaya juice are my favourites.
Thanks for all the great info. Fruit trees are great for food security in most part of the world. Where we live, we can grow mainly apples, pears, and plums. God bless.

Now I definitely need a greenhouse on my property so we can have some tropical fruits!!
Also, your property has grown so much! Glad to see it!
That could work…if you were so inclined.
Yes, the growth of many things has been incredible. We only recognize it when we saw a video of what things were like 7-8 months ago.
I been looking for you guys I'm here brother and sister
Hello friend. Thank you for patiently waiting for us.
So wonderfull!! God bless you more guys.
Thank you for sharing

For reference, volcano town is approx 3,700 ft elevation.
Wow, about the cooking of green papaya. Brilliant!
