"I was conceived under a lemon tree, lemon juice runs in my heart and veins" This episode is beyond beautiful
Thank you! I call Gigino my poet-farmer.
@@TrueFoodTV I really appreciate your work.. I would like tell you, I have subscribed only few channel and you are one among them. I Feel so happy by watching your excellent videos
His lines are deep... something I didn't hear in a long time . Thank you all for making it possible.
omg your comment made me cry! :'( it's so beautiful
He"s the Lemonth son of the Lemonth son
I can respect his work and dedication...i am glad his son is going to carry on the family farm.
I will always have a huge respect and admiration for all the farmers doing all the hardwork to feed us. đ
I absolutely LOVED this episode. I myself have a Meyer Lemon tree that's someone turned into a hybrid tree with a grapefruit and oranges all on one tree. I got it from Florida and so far I've had some AMAZING lemons. So sweet and sour. This is truly inspiring. God bless this gentleman and his family. I'd love to visit or even help him harvest.. Such a sweet and wholesome episode
We really need to appreciate the farmers that devote their lives to producing our food for us. It may be a simple life, compared to other jobs, but it is extremely important and fulfilling. This video illustrates the beauty of farming and carrying on traditions, and how those traditions can very well keep society from crumbling apart.
Well said!
CBA lol it ainât a simple life, itâs a hard life. Itâs why most donât do what we do
We need to force their children and more people to do the farming work to keep the traditions alive. And to save the coast from crumbling away.
It's strange we do not appreciate our most essential needs. Where I try to make it a regular practice to thank God for what I do have. As quality foods is good. I'd prefer to have my own homestead, a couple hundred acres would suffice. Grow heirloom fruits and veggies, an orchard, vineyard, edible landscaping, companion planting, everything natural. Processing supplies, including nitropacking and freeze drying, making syrups, jellies, as well as a whole host of medicinal herbs and berries, maybe a mote to surround the property as a pond with varying depths to grow rice and bamboo, where bamboo can be used for drip irrigation.đđ, Sound good? Oh, definitely plenty of honeybees. Might need more acreage to receive restaurant wastes segregated for papers, coffee grounds, eggshells, wasted foods, grocers wastes produce, and lawn clippings etc. for soil building. Which I mentioned a mote as a pond, where need a deep spring fed creek that runs even in draoughts, which feeds the pond, with a water well and maybe turbines connected to generators. Oh and methane generators where sewage, manure, animal waste, organic matter is used to create methane to fuel lights, heat, etc., while creating huge amounts of nutrient rich fertilizer. Sound good?
Easy Life? You try đ
This makes me want to drop everything, move to the Amalfi Coast and beg to apprentice for this family. Beautiful history
I'd say there's a bus load of subscribers thinking the same thing.
Let's do it!!
Yes! Chartering bus ...
OK Done.
Reply on this thread if you wanna seat on the bus! đ
Robert Kielty I come from an archipelago so I will have to save up first for that plane ticket to get to that bus waiting area đ
Robert Kielty where's the bus!
I don't know why my tears kept on falling while watching and my heart dances while Gigino speaks... this is so nice. Their family could be considered as heroes of their communityâ€â€â€
That's such a lovely way of putting it. Yes, this was one special.
I'm so overwhelmed by this episode, God bless Gigino and his whole family đđ
Amen
This old man had me in tears with his love for the land and his beautiful trees. Thank you for another amazing video. Hopefully you can travel to other places in the world too.
This is absolutely wonderful, I was moved to tears by this family's dedication and love of their land, the sheer beauty of the life around them, and the yearning to have this deep connection to the land myself. Please keep showcasing these kinds of farmers, not only is it so important to share their stories and perspectives, but you're changing the hearts and minds of people all over the world, how we look at farming, and giving us a new appreciation for where our food comes from and who grows it! Much love from Canada, keep finding new food adventures and sharing your and your team's amazing work
Victoria, thank you! This has to be one of my favorite comments ever. Your words are motivating and affirming, and we really appreciate them. Much love to you!
Much love from Canada indeed. Spectacular show, and episode.
Now I'm crying, also you're crying! đą
This video is not just about the lemons, it's about the people all around it. May these lemon trees continue to grow and protect the people đ
I lived in Sicilia for a year. The Sicilians I lived with were chefs and a fisherman. Very simple. Washing dishes? Plates, cups are kept in a wooden or steel rack above the sink. We kept these beautiful lemons by the sink. Just cut and use the thick pulp and juice to just wipe the dishes. No rinsing needed. Then just place the plates, bowls, cutlery back in the racks!
They grew their own olives (a large stone press was in the courtyard that folks would use), grape vineyards that were easier to press (no we didnât stomp on them!), and lemons. Weâd climb up in the mountains to irrigate each night from aqueducts.
We lived near Taormina by Mt Etna the active volcano. It was BEAUTIFUL. I ate plates of pasta each day but never gained weight. Long climbs, hauling water, harvestingâŠI was the most fit in my life. No butter, just Italian baguettes fresh each morning. Siestas each afternoon and the shops all closed. Sweet naps in cool shade. We played tennis on the public clay courts everywhere.
I would still be living in Sicilia if I had any sense! BTW the Sicilians donât speak Italian youâll find on Rosetta Stone. Itâs a specific local language and as an American woman (only American in coastal town) the locals loved hearing me make embarrassing mistakes. Kind good people!
BTW be forewarned! The Sicilian men are very macho! Donât expect equality. But walking with my fiancĂ© each night on the lungomare the men dress in their finest modern suits, the married women all in black dresses. No shorts or pants for me. Even harvesting fruit I wore dresses.
Normaly I do not send messages... But you worth it! Your show is brilliant! It's extremely sensitive and pure. If u ever want to come to Brazil, to know the Northeast culture of 400 hundred years, let me know. I stud American and Brazilian gastronomy for a fell years. You would be impressed.
Thank you for bring us such an amazing joy on your videos!
I would LOVE to go to Brazil and film some episodes. I promise I will one day! Thank you for your sweet words, and for watching.
*finds username funny for no reason itâs like I think 1am and Iâm lost in life *
Bruno que surpresa "encontrar" vocĂȘ aqui, seu canal foi um dos primeiros que assisti e lĂĄ no inĂcio me incentivou "a pegar e fazer", com o tempo se abriu uma janela de culinaria, cultura e produto e conexĂ”es incrĂvel para mim portanto um grande obrigado a vocĂȘ pelo seu trabalho e a outros que assim como vocĂȘ "abrem janelas" nas pessoas.
Abraço "delĂ©ciousssss" â€
IM TAKING YOU TO BRAZIL
You did it again TRUE FOOD TV! The content quality is beyond phenomenal! Kudos!
Thank you so much!
Thank you may Pinoy dito.đ
Im crying. Gigino has so much love for his land, so beautifulđđđđ
We cannot let something like this die. This is just... pure..
There are so many elder people that we admire how dedicated they are. I myself oftentimes see elders that love their profession even in their late ages, it's not because the money they earn but the passion to keep the tradition or heritage. That's what we can learn from them as the youngsters. By the way your video is amazing too. Love from Indonesia đźđ© đ
Nicole, this lemon farm looks like heaven. I am sitting home, drinking your favorite earl grey tea (harney and sons), and watching your lemon video. I love your choice of shirt. It matches well with the lemons. Thank you for sharing :-)
By the way, I love the 80 year old farmer. God bless him, and you too.
Thank you so much! Gigino and his family are special people. All my best to you -- and enjoy that Earl Grey for me! ;)
bird271828, also thought the same !!
Tears are flowing. So beautiful. Great work!
Words can not convey the feelings created by this footage! As a foodie and lover of all ingredients I love the passion he exudes!
I found myself smiling while watching this. I could feel the exuberance you and the men exuded, and it was heartwarming. đ
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it.
This is so beautifully done. Love this series!!
Thank you so much!
@@TrueFoodTV I agree indeed. Pls tell me the end songđđœ
Gigino is a treasure. Thank you. Beautiful.
Hi Nicole. I am from India. I am a farmer too. I salute the flying farmers for the hard work, they are doing. I like you're all episodes. The 'lemon farm' the way you do the picturisation is awesome. Looks like heaven on earth. Here in India too there are places like the northeast and the sahyadri's the farming is done on the hill sides.
This is now my favourite educational video here in TRUE FOOD TV / HOW DOES IT GROW? đđ Amazing video as always.
Thank you so much xo

This is what life is about. How this man speaks is poetry. I am forever changed.
I have been watching your videos for a while now Nicole but coincidentally Iâm currently studying abroad in Italy (Milan) right now and I saw the thumbnail of this video today and booked a trip to Amalfi!
Love it! Go visit Gigino and Salvatore -- the family gives tours of their farm! Google "Amalfi Lemon Experience" (and tell them I sent you)! xx
Breathtakingly beautiful. I love his passion for his work, and I love your channel! Thank you for bringing us stories like this!
By far, the best episode Iâve seen. Itâs always amazing to see how farmers take such pride in their workđ. Itâs amazing.

I really enjoy watching your channel, its full of joy with colourful fruits, well-told story, and informative even. But this one really moved me. What a great content and coverage it is; exposing the real essence of life. I bet you can be a great Anthropology and Sociology researcher too. đđ»

This is my favorite episode of all time. Live forever please, Gigino.đ„°
He is doing great work, with all the climbing it is amazing that his knees are still working well. Gives him a great reason to get up every morning.
Nicole . Thank you once again for another piece of superbly done video. What you are doing helps to preserve much of earth's culture and historical richness. I wouldn't have known about this bit of Amalfi uniqueness if I had not watched this. You realize that you are now also a historian? Awaiting your next video.đ
What a beautiful comment. Thank you so much! I do feel a deep sense of privilege to be recording and sharing these stories. I'm so glad you find in them the same value I do!
Of all the videos that I watched so far on this channel, this one is my favourite. This place is so beautiful, I wanna move there one day! I'm amazed by the dedication and care that Gigino puts into his farm, and as always, I love and adore the quality and production of this video!
"Knock, knock..."
"Who's there?"
"Your new subscriber. Hi!"
Keep up the good work. We need more quality content like this one. :)
P/S: Please do banana next. One of my favourite fruit ever!
So lovely to watch.....such a dedicated farmer....
Gigino is the best!
His way of speech... is amazing.
He's a poet, isn't he?
Beautiful lemon farm...who doesnt like lemon đđđ
Amazing video
Thank you!
Awesome series! I love the videography, and the way you narrate is wow!
Thank you so much!
Nicole,
I have been enjoying your TF series for a while now but this episode is truly exceptional. My Mother was Sicilian and my first job after high school was working in an Italian restaurant owned and operated by a couple who were from Italy. You brought back a lot of wonderful memories both of her and them. Thanks for the reminder of a very special time in my life. đâ€ïž
Sicilian/Southern Italian food is VERY different from central and northern food. What specific foods did you have?
Giginoâs heart is so healthy since he walk up and down the stairs his whole life. I love this video soooooo much!
I would love to try that lemon cake! For someone who appreciates the gift from mother nature and dedicates his life to preserve all the traditions / environment, his fruits have to be special. How can they not be? His face along tells me how good those lemons are.
Well said!
Best video ever.
how beautiful ways you use to tell us about farming i wish we can see everything good in the world through your videos not about agriculture only.
Thank you very much this what we need on CZcams.
Thank you for such a wonderful comment. I'm so happy to contribute something positive.
And the ending scene with the old man doing his job with the lovely music in the background is so calming.
Thank you for sharing his story.
So incredible! Thank you for being a builder upper!! For shedding light on other people's way of life and sharing that so well!
I'm going through a chronic health crisis at the moment but once I heal up I am packing my bags for Italy. I dont want to live the stressful life in North America. I'd love to make lemonchello and olive oil
count me in!
Very well done thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to share these stories and pass on the awareness of how crucial a role these plants are!
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
This is incredibly well made, Nicole! Never stop.
Just discovered your channel. I love the grass roots approach to where our food comes from. This is the best of the ones I have seen. The love of life and lemons is humbling. Please keep up the great work.
The video is so beautiful, including the host đ. Keep em cominâ€ïž
Will do! Thanks for watching!
What a well done video! Love all of your videos but this one is by far the most interesting and heartfelt! The farmer is inspirational! Thank you for posting this awesome video!! Keep the videos coming! đ
Thank you so much! It was a very special episode for me too.
I love this episode, beautiful orchard, beautiful people who farm them.
People like mr.Gigino are the real savior and protector of mother nature, salute to this young man đđđ
My favorite episode so far! Love, love, love it!!!
I'm so glad!!
I'm a huge fan of this channel and loves all there content
Thank you so much!
Lemon shirt at the lemon grove was a good choice. I can't believe this information is free. I almost feel guilty for not paying for it. I love your channel đ
I want to give this man the fountain of youth...so adorable....
I binged this series in one day.
Woohoo! Love it!
Ive been waiting for this eps. Everything you made is amazing and inspire and educating đđ»
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
These farmers are so genuine. They are worriers like climbing these lemon trees carrying on the legacy they have started hundreds of years ago. Wow you have to salute them.
I am thrilled to see these lemon tress spouting lemons. How amazing!
