Hey guys! I left here with a bottle of Jaboticaba wine and honey. Hope you guys enjoyed this site as much as we did! Don’t worry Tre got seeds of the perennial pepper and heirloom corn 😉
Wow! Hard work and good choices always rewards! I hope to keep my brother off opioids when he gets out using these videos as 1 part of my strategy. You never know what good you may be doing in people's lives so please never stop. Wish you the best Pete.
Wooowww one of my favorites of the Costa Rica playlist! I love seeing natives/locals thriving on their own land 🙌🏾 🙏🏽 and the kiddos excited about the honey was too cute
What an amazing steward Christian is, he truly feels the land and bounty...what's not to love, the bees, the orchids, the kids...he is truly blessed...!
Milkweed Dreams he is so kind and giving! I left with bottles of Jaboticaba wine and honey. I had to twist his arm to take my money, he was trying to give it away.
I have seen this so many times and I don't get tired of both parts 1and 2 is one of my favorite when I am looking for ideas and inspiration. Great job guys and this local guy I love how he those it everything organic it goes to show you there no need for chemicals if you do it with love dedication and determination . And you do it because you respect nature and the earth 🌎 good job and I love they elationship so pure and authentic. God bless you all.
Is garcinia taste sweet, juicy, sour SAME mangosteen BUT mangosteen IF YOU EAT LOT in morning empty stomach GOOD FOR WEIGHT loss in Asia lot OF them AND bark SKIN is medicinal
Christian has such a deep passion for so many things! Air layering to multiply his production, such great passion for the earth! And all just a single step out his door, clean and healthy food for his family and a great example to his community and now the world. Pound dirt Christian and Brandon!
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL the perks of the job! 👋 to the family... almost thought it was Gavin in the back ground at Christian's house, but he was prob in school. Sure they enjoy the gifts you bring back. She does a great job on the edits as well!
WOW 😲! Very beautiful and bountiful garden. The owner is really into his garden. Thanks to Christian for letting you tour in his awesome garden Pete. This is the best!
Brendon is very lucky to have Christian as a friend. This is priceless. Revelation 22:2 King James Version (KJV) 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Paradise!! You have inspired me to do some research - I have wild native stingless bees in my garden in Northern Australia. I want to have a setup like this!!
At about 7:00 he describes the vine growing at the corner of the chicken pen which produces a "sack of potatoes". It is Dioscorea Trifida, also known as Yampi in Spanish. It produces a cluster of true tropical yams maybe one pound or so each. They are exported into the US from Costa Rica and are available at Hispanic grocery stores. You will usually find them with wax on the upper part of the tubers which looks like a "neck", that is to preserve them to keep them from drying out.
Que bonito su fincita y casa Christian! Un dia quisiera conocerlo. Tenemos finca en Leon, Nicaragua- un clima muy diferente. Maravilloso ver tu trabajo. Se puede ver tu alegria y orgullo de la finca :)
hummpty dummpty , thanks for the kind words and I definitely have plans to get the videos going again! My video guy and editor had to return to the US, so am looking for someone to help get us going again!
What an incredible person Christian is! It's obvious that for him growing things isn't only a mean of living but also a true passion! We need a special interview of this guy! I'm very curious about his history, how he came to this kind of philosophy, way of growing food...
Hey guys, FYI on the Jicara, Guacal, Calabash, (Morro) fruit, the beans inside are used in" El Salvador, CA " to make the most delicious tasting HORCHATA, drink you'll have ever had. here are the instructions " get beans, out of the fruit by cutting the fruit in half (beans look just like flat coffee beans) Sun, dry the seeds for three to four weeks. once dried remove the thin pulp by rubbing them in your hands against themselves and done ready for roasting. Slow roast them in a "Comal" (larch flat plate made out of Clay" or flat metal sheet until they are light brown in color (don't burn them) just as what you would do with Cacao beans. once you roast them let them cool down for an hour or so, then put them into a blender with water add sugar if desired. The outer Shell of the fruit can be carved completely clean and Sun, dry un till it turns real light brown and is nice and hard to make drinking bowls that will last a life time. fi you are interested to see what the Morro, fruit looks like and he Beans, Google Image, " Morro Nutt and Morro, seeds.
In Nicaragua, one can meet the Jicarao. They leave the seeds to dry out in the sun and ferment a little, and then they make a delicious drink called Semilla de Jicarao!
Hicaras 11:38 we call it maraca tree my grand father use to make artesania with it to sell to tourists hwen i make my own permaculture im going to grow one of those trees in memory of my grandfather
WOW !!! Simply amazing guy, brilliant and kind. Good stuff Mr. Pete !!! (as always, da-uh !!! LOL !!!) A bag full of potatoes, I wonder if that might work for wild Yams ?!?!? Much luv, # dirt brother, thanks again for such awesome videos. 😎😎😎
What was the fruit Brendon carried around the whole time but never got to? I wasn't aware of the varieties of bees that can be used to collect honey. So cool. Thanks Pete.
Good question. Are you in Costa Rica? These plants are available though Brendon Mckeon with natural living design. They have a nursery business together.
Awesome channel. I’m moving with my Girlfriend in November on out 55 Hektar farm in Costa Rica. We want to build a permaculture Aswell. Thank you for your knowledge.
I live in the tropics and would love to buy seeds, can you give recommendations? I am enjoying your videos. Please write the name of the fruits and vegetables so I can find out more about you mentioned a type of potato and I couldn't understand the name . THANKYOU from Puerto Rico! Cristian me encanta su casa...
I also live in the Caribbean and I order from trade winds fruit nursery. They have great germination rate. Just make sure your islands rules on bringing seeds in. Or get someone to bring them for you.
Jicara fruit pulp when ripe is dissolved in Sherry wine, and used in Mexico as cough syrup. I had asthma when young and took a lot to ease lungs congestion ☺️
Does Christian sell some of his produce? I wonder if he plans to transfer that Jaboticaba tree in the barrel into the ground. If he will, it will grow bigger, but if he doesn’t..he can take it with him if he sells his property or move somewhere in the future. IS THERE PART 3 OF THIS? I want more like this.
Good question with the produce, I'm guessing is mostly for personal consumption seeing how busy Brendon keeps him. With that said where does he get the time to keep this place up?!? No, this was the last one with Christian, we do feature another Tico farmer later in this series.
G. Nash , Cristian mostly grows his produce for personal consumption, but does sell fruit from his farm. My guess is he will keep that Jaboticaba in the barrel, he loves to experiment with things.
Howdy, thank you for your videos. I watch so many, however I kinda feel bummed with this episode since I am believer in permaculture, and when I saw how the bees were treated, it was depressing. I know it's no one's place to tell people you visit how to live, but I feel that as the person recording and sharing messages, to be aware of what message we want to give and be more thoughtful in sharing how we want other people to take care of our planet and natural resources in harmony. My feedback is not meant to create any disrespect, just sharing that as a viewer, it's great to see content that supports more permaculture and less "man dominating land and animals" which can sometimes be blurred with homesteaders. Cheers my friend. And again thank you for putting all this work in sharing.
The jicara is known as calabash tree. They scoops the inside and boils it then they strain the water. They drink that because of its medicinal properties.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL actually I'm from India and here too we have similar stingless bees. Which are about 1-2 mm long and have similar hive structure. They build their hives inside unused PVC pipes, bamboos etc. Even here they say their honey has medicinal properties.
his house is serious, just noticing all the woodwork and tiles n stuff, house builders overwhelm me lol i can grow plants but when it comes to the hardware im just like whaaaat lol
OMG those tiny bees! I thought they're some weird little bugs. I used to destroy their nest when they're just starting to build one around my granny's house 😭
Solanum quitoense, Naranjilla or Lulo Apis mellifera, North American honeybee??!! LOL Sorry but the honeybee hails from Europe, English and Italian varieties

Katrina Harvey his property was something else!
Acerola 1:20 I like it when theyre green theyre sour love when my mom cooked it and made some type of sweet candy out of it
They’re supposed to have more vitamin C at that stage too.
In Nicaragua, one can meet the Jicarao. They leave the seeds to dry out in the sun and ferment a little, and then they make a delicious drink called Semilla de Jicarao!
Tim Box thanks for sharing! I’d love to try that drink
I've been looking for semilla de Morro/jucaro. Hubby says they make their horchata from it.
Great idea! I already have dirt bike tire tools, now I just need the bees!
These bees are so cool! I love the fact they're stingless.
Great video Pete! Now I really want to visit there
Lovely farm ! Bravo amigo .
Fantastic! I would like to learn from him first hand.
Thank you....Enjoyed.

Also Meliponas are peaceful no-sting bees as one can see when they approach on opened the hive.

Local name is Papa Chiricana, but more common name is Yampee (Dioscorea trifida)
Where do I get stingless bees? Never heard of them.

What is the name of these stingless bees? Interesting to see they don't store honey in bees wax hive. That means less cleaning to retrieve the honey.
Trigona corvina maybe?
