What does a retired St. Kitts –Nevis Government Civil
Servant and Educator do with all the time on
her hands?
Well, she rallies her children and grand children together
and starts a farm. Some probably will cooperate and others won’t as we all know
children, teenagers and young adults.
Farmer Yvette Wallace and her son Farmer Lemercius Wallace
and Grand daughter Farmer Tsurhenne Wallace are in REJOICING MODE after they started harvesting their
first crops having starting farming a plot of land in The Trinity Community at
the middle of January, 2015, opposite their home just as a HOBBY PROJECT.
Our Dare 2 Be Different International Media House spoke to
Mrs. Yvette Wallace, M.Ed and asked her how does it feel plowing and farming at
her age after being in the EDUCATION
INDUSTRY for over 25 years as a teacher, head teacher and retiring as an
Education Officer. Mrs. Wallace commented, “I grew up with my father, Benjamin
Thompson doing farming in the ghaut over in Brighton’s Estate – St. Kitts. Each
of his children had their patch or row to farm what he told them to plant and
take care of and this just brings back memories and keeps me fit and my mind
properly occupied.”
For her son, Lemercius Wallace, a computer technician and
musician who runs his own small business, working the soil is something new for him as
he and his other brothers were practically raised in the era of TECHNOLOGY and
seem somewhat ADDICTED to the computing world.
Lemercius does seem to enjoy
helping his mother farm the plot of land in his spare time too and so
does her grand daughter Tsurhenne Wallace who loves to put on the BOOTS and
show off with her friends.
Our media house spoke to Brother Khrystus V. K. Wallace,
aspiring Prime Minister of The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis and he said, “God
gives everyone a CALLING and I don’t think he has called me to FARM, at least
not yet, maybe when I’m older and more settled, but I know though, THAT HE HAS
CALLED ME TO EAT WHAT
HAS BEEN FARMED
BY MY MOTHER, BROTHER AND NIECE.”
Certainly, for those reading locally, regionally and
internationally, heading into the primary industry, the world of agriculture
and organic farming isn’t a bad idea at all as the global economy is constantly
promote World Food Security. Growing food for personal consumption can
definitely save one much money and also help to bless those living around. Our
Dare 2 Be Different International Media House believes that Back Yard Gardening
is essential!
