Typically when someone asks us what we’re growing on our farm, it’s assumed we grow plantains, bananas, coffee, avocado and citrus–in other words, monoculture, because that’s what many people grow both on the island and elsewhere in the world.
Although our farm produces the above crops, as well as vianda (root vegetables), guava and other fruits commonly found on the island and grow very well in the Caribbean and in the tropics, we decided to do something completely different and grow fruits from around the tropical world.
Not only do the tropical fruit trees offer a variety for the palette, but they also provide a rich and colorful tapestry to ogle over.
Here is a list of a few of the fruit trees we cultivate:
Banana
Abiu
Guava
Breadfruit
Breadnut
Noni
Acerola
Mountain Soursop
Açai berry
Grumichama
Carambola
Cacao
Ginger
Okari nut
