We have a lot of picking to do! But we will save a bundle at the grocery store, as well as eat healthier. Dwaine does not use ANY herbicide on his crops only natural fertilizer. Look below and see were we get this natural fertilizer
Oh yes Dwaine has Horses and they LOVE to use the bathroom....
If you know what I mean
As you can see Yahya is eager to go in with the horses?
Overseer Ray is watching over the field hands.... "Yessa Boss we worken hard" (smile)
Ray and his wife Sis. Stefanie who took the pictures had to catch a flight in just a few hours back to Memphis thus his role as overseer...
Yvonne (Yahya's wife) is picking string beans with Yahya and Dwaine
Look at those string beans! On just one bush there are about 50 to 75 beans
Tomatoes almost ready to pluck
Dwaine has made a man made Pond. Once the rains come he will have tons of water and will introduce various fish into the pond for mating purposes and then later for consumption.
(Make sure you put some Whiting, and Trout in the pond Dwaine)
Dwaine and his wife Angela have set aside over an acre land so that C.O.F.A.H can grow it's own crops.
Dwaine also has several dogs on the farm. The dogs keep away Deers Rabbits and Snakes. Dwaine also lightly dusts aroung the crops with sulphur which also keeps down on animals eating on the crops.
Bro Dwaine will be a guest with Bro. Ray on The C.O.F.A.H Network Blog Talk Radio Program on August 9th and once a month after that.
Make sure you tune in so that you can learn how to live off the Land.
If you are a member or representative of C.O.F.A.H and live or will be in the Raleigh, NC area and would like some crops, please contact Yahya and be ready to do some pick'en!!
Shalom
