Living Off The Land: How These Puerto Rican Farmers Survived The Storm | NBC Latino | NBC News
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?

@@svetlanikolova7673 Oh thats a dream coming true, isnt it? Is it illigal to live on the land there?
@@WitchOnABroomstick do you have any money saved up?
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful island beautiful people❤️❤️
MANY AMERICANS WILL STARVE BEFORE THEY DO MANUAL LABOR..SAD! foreigners feed themselves, they take care of themselves..asking no one for nothing....self preservation..the #1 rule people!
Lisa M Very true!
Lisa M meh.... it’s debatable.
Lisa M
Amen to that..
This is what makes Puerto Rico and their people beautiful. :)
The simpler life is the best life to live if you live it in a peaceful place that is a real god's blessing.

Nolberto Cales yes respects my Puerto Rico
AMEN
May God continue to keep bless you both and your children too.👏
Marie Stewart Amen
What a beautiful way of living, honestly. I think the world could learn a lot from this family and families alike.
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
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!!!!!
Beautiful people, that I'm proud to be a Puerto Rican 💗💗💗💗💗💗
So beautiful!
I grew up like this🇵🇷🙌🏼
Thank GOD for people like this! So refreshing to see....
Que bella familia, me encanta lo dulce que se escuchan sus voces
emadavidc 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
De Toa Baja Pal' Mundo Esooo yo soy de Puerto Rico!!! 🇵🇷😋❤
i wish to meet these type of people , to connect with them, love to hear that proper calm articulate Spanish , educative , knowledgeable , with out bringing that outer street jargon..
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
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.
Excellent! I wish this beautiful family nothing but the best!
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!!!
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.
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♡
Everyone should start doing this. Loved the story. May God keep blessing them. ❤
My respect! Humble!
The essence of natural beauty and wisdom.
Really humble people. God bless this family and my Island
This is the organic family farm. Delightful family working as a team 💯💖
My mother grew up like this in adjuntas pr. Beautiful. Peaceful resourceful. Miss the mountains and the land.
Que orgullosa me siento de uds.Le están enseñando al mundo k en la isla hay mucha gente buena y trabajadora.Dios los bendiga ahora y siempre.
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
It's not everyone's lifestyle but it would benefit many if they could make it so.
true and we can manage to adapt, we just need patience and faith.
Soy orgullosa de mi gente! Que viva Puerto Rico y que Dios bendiga esta linda familia.
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!
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
Iam so proud of you God bless your family
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.
What a wonderful story. Good luck to this family. I hope that the sustainable farming will increase on the island.
Para que el mundo lo sepa El verdadero boricua no se rinde ante la adversidad asi es que se vive humilde trabajadores preciosa famila.si el 90 porciento de nosotros hiciera lo mismo esta Isla seria el paraiso.
Asi mismo.
el boricua tenemos corazon de leon y espuelas de gallos somos guerreros
keishla Rodriguez eso esss
Lo ciento muchacho el capitalismo no lo permite nesecita dinero si el 90 Porcierto de los Puertoriqueños actuaran asi ellos se encargan de destruirlos
Norbero Fontanez aprende a escribir so bruto tu eres tu propio enemigo bruto.
this is life.
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!!!
El que cultiva la tierra nunca los alimentos les faltaran, bendiciones para todos good job.
Good Bless Puerto Rico! A beautiful humble people. I am proud of my heritage.
Me encanta este estilo de vida Saludos hermanos boricuas desde Costa Rica 🍅🍄🍉
If that's not paradise, what is?
J de la Cruz that it is not paradise it is a lot of hard work
Maria Ram working hard is not bad if you love what you do. Living of the land and literally reaping the fruits of your labor in a beautiful land with a beautiful family. Getting up in the morning to fresh air and love. They are living in paradise.
J de la Cruz Agree. My father lives in the “campo” and he LOVES this sort of stuff and raising animals. Many people may consider it “hard work”, but if you like what you do, it’s not a “curse”. Besides....the beauty of the tropics does not hurt.
Yep, the smell of the fresh morning air in the countryside in those mountains is unparalleled.
Norbero Fontanez what do you mean?
Love you Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. God bless.
Their not just farmer's ,their Puerto Rico farmer's who do things not just for themselves but for anyone in need of help !! I'm proud of Puerto Rico and proud to be a Puerto Rican from NYC . 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 !
I love how they stay calm in such a scary situation.
Te amo Puerto Rico! Most beautiful place I know!
Mis felicitaciones.que familia linda Dios continue bendiciendo su siembre.mil bendiciones 😄
God bless this beautiful people.
Dios Los Bendiga!!!Siempre Pa'Lante!!Que Viva Puerto Rico!!Jente Trabajadora!!
Mi gente palante!!!✊
May God Bless this family!!!

Puerto Rico always do Better...🇵🇷
Nuestra Bella Isla y Gente, Que Dios Siempre Los Bendiga 💓💞🙏

Que familia tan bella y honorable.
Love to see the beautiful side of Puerto Rico. Not everything there is negative. Dios los bendiga! Hope more people would follow their lifestyle.
Keep it up guys God bless
Beautiful family. Farming life is the best.😘
Como extraño mis Isla esté como esté la amo!! Que rico seria vivir asi es sinonimo de humildad y cero vanidad!
Bonita familia, suerte saludos desde RD! blessing.
What a beautiful family and way of life!clean,happy, and hard work and dedication!linda familia!Saludos puerto Rico! 👍
AMO mi raza PUERTORRIQUEÑA, WEPAAAAAAAAAAA!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
God bless you! america is with you. ❤
Esa vida es un lujo....todo
Natural....sin quimico...esta brutal
I like that no matter what this family goes through they always have a positive mindset & always look for the positive side in things. Shoutout to these people & the rest of my Ricans out there on the island, WEPA! 🇵🇷
Awesome family !!! I hope we’re working on a way that , we can import food to Puerto Rico Incase of another hurricane
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 👍
GOOD JOB GUYS! GOD BLESS YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY !🙏
suerte bella familia
Bendicciones para esta familia.
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. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Hey thanks for highlighting my comments again so sweet.☺
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.
Me encantan ver videos como este!..Pa' lante mi gente bella!
This brought tears to my eyes. This is the way I grew up. I love that life style.
I was very worried about food even though I had cash I didn't have where to buy food because everything was closed. This year I am preparing just in case.
Beautiful people, God bless them.
Every person in America needs to be doing this in some shape or form ...we would over throw the govt in no time
Blak Lady Devil Right Amen to that.
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.
Que Hermoso!!!! la vida es mas sana y mas economica. Los admiro.
inspirational! great family living when all working together. God bless.
Que bello mi gente! Regresando a las raices de un estilo verdadero de vida eterna para la humanidad! Sustenible, ecologico, y independendiente, y tan lindo el comer loque uno cosecho. Le oro a DIOS que los bendiga con salud, provision, y amor de familia, y impresa para que puedan seguir haciendo la obra tan nitida y importante!
Que Dios los bendiga siempre. Viva Puerto Rico libre y soberano!!! 💪🏼🇵🇷
Ay tan hermoso 😍🇵🇷
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
I love my people! God bless Puertorrican
Tobacco is not healthy! What they are doing is good! Food is what people need to live!! This video is awesome! I hope you can have electric power soon and especially a cistern, to have enough supply of water!!! Arriba paisanos!! Yo se que se puede!!
When there's a will , there's a way may God bless this family .
This is what I truly call real survivor.
Hey Nelly I just install a solar generator for them. Thanks to awesome people we got a donation and gave them solar energy...!!!
Javier Camacho Genial. Responsabilidad social y trabajo comunitario. Aplauso para ti y gente como tú q hacen la diferencia.
That are not tobacco, that its "kale".
Javier Camacho that is awesome!!! Electric power is a great necessity!! You gave them a good gift!! Thank you!!
It's a great way to live. There's always going to be challenges, but just have to find ways to overcome it.
Me encanto este vídeo que familia mas linda saludos y bendiciones
Que orgullo una pareja tan joven manteniedo nuestra tradicion. Que dios Los bendiga
Love living like this. Been growing my own stuff here on the island for a few years now and its the best reward.
The farm is beautiful and so is the lady
This is how my grandparents lived, I always admired their lifestyle and am glad to see that this young couple is embracing this lifestyle.
What a beautiful family
