Show Notes

In Episode 4 of Farm Fresh: Caribbean Homesteading Chronicles, we explore the foundation of homesteading, organic gardening, and resilient living through the lens of the Caribbean climate. This episode is your practical how-to guide for starting a food-sovereign garden — no matter your space or skill level. Whether you’re working with a balcony bucket or a full backyard farming setup, we walk you through what to plant, when to plant it, and how to choose the right seeds for your growing zone.

Learn how to time your crops for success, explore the benefits of heirloom seeds vs. hybrids, understand Caribbean microclimates, and dive into beginner-friendly crops like callaloo, pak choi, tomatoes, thyme, and peppers. We also discuss companion planting, permaculture principles, and seed saving for long-term sustainable living and self-sufficiency.

Whether you’re focused on small-scale farming, urban homesteading, or full-blown organic farming, this episode helps you build confidence in growing your own food the farm-to-table way.
