So a few weekends ago my friend Ester asked me to come to the farm with her. I wasn't sure what that meant or what I was supposed to do, but I woke up at 7am as requested. Apparently that was too late for her and she went ahead, but her sister and her neighborhood friend took me to the farm.
The farm, which is a
pineapple farm, is located probably 3km behind Primary School Mensa
in Antoa. You go up a few hills, under a canopy of vines and palm
trees, and through acres of growing pineapples to her family plot. It
is super small. Her uncle has a plot near by, but their plot is most
likely less than one acre. Ester was already their weeding the
pineapples and taking care of the land. Her and her mother sell
pineapples in the neighboring towns since there are no farms around
there.
I was only there for
an hour and a half, but the land out there is gorgeous. I took a lot
of pictures with the girls as we hiked back to the main road and to
Antoa. It is definitely what Ghanians call “the bush.” In any
case though, the bush is magnificent.
