This is Reece. Reece has a superstition (religion?) about socks.
When we leave the house, he makes a sock offering to ensure that we return home. And we always do.

Coffee from the farm. The red ones were harvested yesterday and today. The others have been drying for a few days.
We might have enough to do a small batch of roasted coffee next week.

More bananas, ripened, peeled, and frozen.
These are from the 2 plants we harvested last week. There are still more that are green and need a bit of time to finish ripening.

We have red bananas. I was aware that they were a thing, and the previous owner said he had planted some.
Harvesting these will be a challenge, it's a tall plant on a steep slope.

Today's harvest from the farm. Bananas (all of this from 1 plant), 1 cacao pod, 6 passionfruit, one guava, and 3 coffee cherries.
Close up of the guava and coffee.
Most of the coffee is still green right now, so we are just getting a few early cherries here and there.

We are attempting to propagate the pineapple that we harvested. If this works the way the Wisdom Of The Internet says it should, we will get 4 new plants from 1 pineapple.

West Indian raspberry on the farm. It grows all over the place, and has been producing fruit at least since February. Very tasty, but you need to harvest and eat immediately. It provides us with a lovely snack as we roam around the farm.

Cacao (precursor to chocolate) growing at the farm. We have 4 trees producing fruit, and they appear to be 4 different hybrid varieties (the red one might be a Trinitario hybrid).
We have harvested the seeds and planted them, producing more than 300 seedlings so far. We would like to plant 2000.
