- Welcome to the Nature Island of the Caribbean: Dominica. It's wonderful when the name suits the face - Dominica, The Nature Isle!
Here I am visiting our farm on the north of Dominica for the first time in the New Year 2022. I am always in awe of the abundance of fruits and vegetables from our fertile Caribbean soil.
Go-Goat our home raised goat is 'kinda' happy to see me - I think I am happier to see him.
Come with me to take a glimpse of what life is like on our earth friendly island, Dominica as I enjoy picking and eating fruits, chatting with the animals listening to the birds sing, breathing fresh air and more...

Great interaction with nature.
Where can I find a Nubian Ram?
@@naturalist2999 glad I learnt something new from you today. Had no idea how they were called, well except for Go-goat and Goatie :) Thanks for your comment. Will let you know if I find any available
Hello my dear friend. It's so great to see you in these videos and surrounded by our beautiful nature. All those fruits remind me of Cuba. The carambola we call it pera china in the province i come from in central Cuba. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!! Best wishes for 2022. Oh yes nature is my happy place. Bet the pera china will run next time I arrive :)
This is so amazing 👍👍💯
Thank you so much Mike. Glad you like! :)
Wonderful
Thank you! I appreciate
in trinidad we call it five finger
Yep, based on the responses here, five fingers seem to be among the top 3 names for this fruit across the Caribbean. (five finger, starfruit and Carambola). Ah love it! Nice having you here Mervyn. Thanks
Loving the natural vibes. Thinking of relocating there. I need a more natural lifestyle.
The more natural lifestyle does wonders - I can attest. Glad you enjoy the vids. More coming up in July. Thanks and best wishes to you Alley
Thanks Grethel!
Hello from Martinique..So beautiful Dominica..I visited but I dont know you village "Bourne" Where are you exactly ? I ll want to stay in a farm to visit the garden..Do you do that ?
Thanks for the answer☺
Hello MGR, It is indeed a beautiful island. Glad that you find it so. Oh, Bourne/Borne is the first community past the town of Portsmouth on the way to the airport. We do not offer accommodation as yet however we hope to do so in the future. Thanks for viewing - I appreciate. It is my pleasure to answer your question
The tree with the orange flowers...African tulip
Thank you. I have been trying to figure that out. It's so cool amidst all the green. Nice having you here... I appreciate!
reminds me of the flamboyant tree
I need to visit home soon. I miss nature! Which village is this?
Once you visit you'll get your full dose of nature :) It's the beautiful lil' village of Bourne. Thanks for watching!!
I’m interested in moving to Dominica after I retire and I need more information about the island and living arrangements
Thanks for viewing!! It is an amazingly beautiful island in many ways. It would however be great to visit a few times to learn more at your own pace and get a local experience, I think. Much info can be found over at the website of Discover Dominica also.
Oh all de time i seein u on de road dere is grethel dat is your name den? Lol nice video man.
Yesss slimfit :) That's my name. So nice to have you here and I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. I appreciate!
I am jealous truly, where is my fruits, not fear at all. I gonna be waiting by the warf for my box next week.
Hahaha I ate 'em all. You saw the pace I was going right?
Hey how are you, haven’t seen you in a while, hope all is well with you.
Awww Thank you so much for checking in Mary!! Doing fine thx. Will be back soon with new vids in the upcoming weeks. Hope you're doing well yourself. Sending virtual hugs
Excuse me Madam I’m scrolling thru my TH-cam channel and came upon this video, I’m Jamaican, currently living in North Carolina which I might add is very cold this week. Just stopping by to say I’m very jealous of your paradise. There I said it 😩😩
Hahaa, there you said it:) Nah, it just may be about you finding joy in the simplest of things plus you're an islander. Sending some sunshine your way! Glad you took time here to comment. Thank you!!
Where in the Nature isle was this video shot? I did not wait till the end to ask this question.
At Bourne. Thanks for viewing...
What fruits are in season in April?
Umm Papaya, Carambola, Guava, Golden apple, Oh the Fatpokes are getting set (Fatpokes are some of the fruits I pick in one of my videos related to tent camping in Dominica)…
Thanks for viewing, Jay!
Love your blog I would love to visit what is the cost for a one bedroom furnished apartment per month
Oh thank you! I appreciate. Apartment costs would depend on several factors but in general I'd say on average, it starts at about $650-700XCD per month.
@@SimplyGrethel thanks much and keep up the wonderful work You are doing
That first fruit, was that Chapoti?
Yep, Chapoti - and they are lucky they were not yet ripe :)
@@SimplyGrethel Lol interesting, that's really nice that's one of my favorite fruits. Nice video sweetheart.
@@YoungUprising Thank you!
It's called five fingers.
Yesss, I should have remembered that one. Sure I heard it somewhere before. Thanks for commenting Adonis
5 fingers
Yep! Five finger is the name I've heard the most after Carambola since asking the question. I think here in Dominica the majority say Carambola. I appreciate your comment Banches jo.
Yes, carambola is the scientific name.
@@Banches767 Actually I thought the name Carambola was just the local (Caribbean) name. Just googled as I saw your reply and indeed it is Averrhoa Carambola. surprisesurprise! Learning is really continuous. Thank you!

@@SimplyGrethel hope everything well tomorrow
@@gazifoodandtravelksa1452 let's hope
