- We harvested cassava from our own garden in Kumasi. One of the great things that comes with living in Ghana is the ability to plant good foods in your own garden. Due to the fertility of the soil almost anything you plant comes up nicely. We are indeed blessed!

My people, next time pour water on the ground a night before the uprooting, it will be wet and easy to uproot. Evidence-based family by nature.Congratulations, guys!
Great tip, thanks bro. That’s exactly what I told the family after the experience with this one. The water makes a massive difference lol
The man has been out of town for nearly 40yrs! I haven’t seen cassava being harvested b4 n I have learnt something new too!!
This is truly family by nature. Showing the kids how natural food products are harvested. Food everywhere in AFRIKA.
Thank you my brother! We are indeed blessed as a country and as a continent! We are about to grow different types of foods and fruits.
Oooo Mother Africa is truly blessed. Look u just harvested a free food from ur own place without paying for it. Where can u enjoy this wonderful life?🤔🇬🇭
Yes ooo we are blessed! It feels good to eat food from your own garden. Thanks for watching!
Say that again.👍
Simply a fantastic family; a demonstration of excellent leadership by the dad. In short, kids turned out nice when daddy is involved in their upbringing from day one. Well done to both parents..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love how it’s the youngest and the girl who is the most interested and passionate about what her dad is teaching 😊she is a great student
Congrats on the move
Thank you!
Family by nature ..l truly applaud you for been in control !! a great man of responsibility & intergrety to your family expecially with your wife been a foreigner..well done 👍
Thank you, Elizabeth!
Omg, this is so wonderful , your children are not bord at all in Ghana, the are leaning alots and l love the humbliness of the children, blessings to you more and more❤
I love your family so much, the way you involve them in everything is so adorable. Keep it up 👍
Thanks so much, Grace! This is what keeps us together and bonded. Even when are making simple or major decisions we all sit down together and each one contributes to the discussion or a decision.
Bro i love you and your father so much. U let me feel like come home.because miss home so much stays in Germany for 15 years without documents.thank you so much for incorageing us🙏
Thanks a lot! May the Lord grant you the desires of your heart!
Bro l don't think you stayed in a Ghanaian village before😀😀😀
The cassava root can make so many different things, cassava bread, cassava bread with sweet coconut inside, starch, cous-cous, and an Amerindian food coloring called cassareep. The cassareep can be added to any meat of your choice, and we use it to make a special Xmas dish called pepper pot.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Also leaves can be cooked (while still young) and when tender ground and add to peanut soup. Dry cassava turned into crispy snack or flour for fufu
Katakyie, your laborious approach, especially having to use water to soften the ground (LOL), confirms you were gone for far too long. Glad you are back where you belong. Always a joy watching you and the family.
Yes! Thank you lol. Ah the water was soo good lol. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I harvested cassava lol.
Just pull the whole stem by roping them to a piece of 2x4 wood and lift the wood up in between
Thank you!
One of the coolest family of all time. If not the coolest family of all time. Very humble parents and the children are the products of their parents. Lots of love to you guys.
Awww thanks so much for the kind and lovely words, Samuel! Much appreciated! Much love from the family!
The soil is very rich . This is the real Organic cassava.
Indeed!
It's the WOW WOW for me🤣
I am from Sierra Leone, we do eat that. It really nice
Yes it is. My friend used to cook cassava leaves stew:)
I’m so much in love with this family, omg; they’re so humble n beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awww thanks sooo much! Much love from the family to you! God bless you!

Aww! It’s so refreshing to get a respond from u. I just had your video sent to me by my twin brother from Canada!!
We have same idea to come settle home one day with our families too, n seeing u take the centre stage is absolutely beautiful n inspiring. I’m here in Birmingham, UK, for the last 21yrs, n planning for migration too! May the universe bless you and your beautiful family…
My pleasure, George! I love to sit outside in the balcony and read and reply to the comments from our lovely viewers who are part of the family now. We were living in Stoke-on-Trent so we were not far from each other. Being to Birmingham countless times through the National Express as it stops there on our way to Stoke or to London. Glad of your intention to move to Ghana. Don’t give up on it. Work on it and you will realise it’s the best decision for the family. The children adapt faster than we think:) Kindly send me an email to: email@familybynature.family. I will give you my private number and we can have a chat together. God bless you!
Father please take the family to kakum canopy national park their goin to love it
Especially ur last born she so smartly and always ask a lot questions
Thank you! It’s actually on the list of places to visit this year God’s willing. Yes Alicia will definitely love it.
Wow bountiful harvest!!! God bless you for demonstrating to us that you are a practical family... Just imagine if every household had a garden and were able to harvest the crops, I don’t think food prices can soar high and make livelihood hard. Family By Nature❤️
Amen and thank you! We will be growing more suff:) It’s a great feeling to eat food from your own backyard:)
I love this MAN😊😊😊
Thank you and much love myself and the family!
Good job 👏 well done people 👏
You need to do some composting and add it to the soil to improve it. Use leaves, vegetable skins etc t9 make a compost pile. You can compost in a bin plastic bin also. Gradually you can improve the soil in your garden. You can ask people to donate their cassava peel and plantsinand yam skins etc to make compost. Then add it to small sections of the garden especially at the root of your plants.
Dig the hole to plant tour cassava or seeds and fill it with compost and soil.
Thanks so much, Mark!
Amazing FAMILY SETUPS ✊✊✊
Thank you!
Peel it boil it and u can eat with fish or mash with butter delish or fry with onions and peppers … or even in soups Love it
Thank you!
That casava sticks you cut in to pieces, and you place it in right direction because casava have eyes, without the eyes , you can't get casava .
Thank you, Mark!
I love your family Hod bless you guys
Aww thanks, Gifty! Amen and God bless you too!
Am sorry bro if u pay that water and if u gonna harvest the all garden 😥 anyway we love our homeland Africa am watching from the pearl of Africa 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Thanks for watching!
Mummy's question about the price was very relevant.. Imagine a farmer goes through an the stress to grow this and only makes a few cedis from the harvest.
Your family is having a good experience and I'm loving their reaction. A learning family I see
My thoughts exactly, Fred! Especially those in the remote areas. The good thing with cassava is the low maintenance and the easy way of sowing. You literally put a stick in the ground and leave it lol. Indeed it was a great experience for wifey and the kids as you don’t see it in Europe:)
Wow sehr gut. I have a Sohn call David and a Tochter call Alisha. 😘
Thanks for watching, Evelyn! What a coincidence! Greetings to David and Alisha!
You can boill it and then fry it after is cooked like fried yam the kids will love it .
Thank you! That sounds good. I’ve not tried it before. Will try it.
Ghana is so rich mehn
Serious ooo! You can literally grow anything!
I like cassava. It’s one of our tribal stable foods here in Uganda for the Lango tribe. I like it cos you can eat it in various capacities like boiled and eat it with peanut paste, fried and mingled. Although recently with the introduction of GMO modified cassava which rots in the garden just after 1 year unlike the traditional one which usually takes more than 3 years in the garden without rotting. This has made people to look for alternative stable foods. I don’t know about you guys over there in Ghana how is it
Thanks for watching! I think cassava is very popular in many African countries. It can be put to many uses as you rightly said so it’s great. I don’t know much about the GMO modified cassava. In our case we didn’t even use any fertiliser and it came out nicely. The soil is very good.
@@FamilyByNature great job 👏🏿
Wow! Nice harvest! I've never seen a cassava tree before
Thanks for watching! It was a first time experience for my wife and the children too. They children saw when we planted them in the garden. Great experience for them.
Use a hoe not shovel or panga 😂. Also add water overnight as too dry. You can dry some of the harvest and pound for fufu or fry for snack. So happy to see dad showing the kids and wife how it’s done 👍🏿👌🏿. The children are attentive and well mannered and peaceful and humble and interested in their African heritage. Kudos to the parents even though they are from different races, they are a great example of how similar we all are if we work together. So proud of you especially the father for relocating the family back to Africa and providing leadership as the head of the family. Cheers to the mother too as she’s the one who provided the nurturing. Thanks 👏🏿. To preserve water, you should use the rain water that you trapped via the roof and water tank. Can’t wait to see the yam harvest. Cut the cassava on the grass 😂 so no need for sweeping. Dad doesn’t crack 😂😂😂😂. Scrapping cassava after peeling removes the bitter taste of fresh cassava- also good to leave in water to get the starch out.
Massive thanks for the love and the garden tips! God bless you!
Fufuo oo, yeebedi... Get ready Alicia, my fufu Queen.... 🤣
Yes ooo Queen lol. Alicia really enjoyed the fufu hahaha
This cassava is called Abena Maafo
Oh Saa! Thanks Nana! Never knew lol.
I love you guys lovely family by nature God bless you all
Amen and thanks! Much love from the family! Stay blessed!
I have a big compound am motivated to plant cassava this morning already sent for stalks
That is awesome! Thanks for watching!
Well done my brother. Massive land. Is it two plots?
Man that soil is very riche in minerals and nutrients. Because your cassava plants gros like a tree within few months.
We are lucky in Africa. Cassava, Yam (many species), Funio and Ethiopian grain are all gluten free and digest quickly.
Nice family and esprit collective.🇳🇬♥️🇳🇬.
Thank you! You are absolutely right. We are blessed indeed with rich soils.
The way you were cutting the stem, the Ghanaian in you wanted to disappear after your years staying outside.
Absolutely lol. I was rusty, but now I’m back lol. Thanks for watching.
This is truly beautiful 🫶🏾
Thank you!
So amazing and beautiful to watch. Try digging two or three rows of mounds like how we plant sweet potatoes or yams. Then you plant the cassava sticks, lay them flat in the rows of mounds. It will be much easier pulling them out in the time of harvesting. Cheers & hurrays📣
Thanks for watching and for the planting tip!
Ur eldest is a local champion 😂😂😂
He lyks bankye ampesie 😂😂 )broniii paaa
Thank you Bright! . Duke is a local champion indeed lol. He spent part of his childhood in Ghana and could speak fluent Twi before coming back to Europe. Thinking of doing a video on that:)
Oh yeah! I got it I got . David is still a shy man and I think the last but one girl, a journalist. She can ask questions papa😂😂😂brilliant girl I think
@@bediakobrightgyamfi9036 absolutely right lol. Alicia can ask questions and that’s good! My mum said I was like that lol. Alicia was deputy head girl and a member of the anti-bullying team in her former school in the UK. I’m planning a video interview with each one of them:)
@@FamilyByNature here for it 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Nice teachings 🙏🇬🇭
Thank you and thanks for watching!
WELL DONE FAMILY. THANKS BE TO NATURE (ALMIGHTY GOD) AMEN.
Thank you, Stephen! Indeed!
Nice, if every child from the west get to do these activities at their leisure times , crimes will go down drastically, Father @ work mother @ work , can’t be indoors all the time , start mingling with wrong crowd, what you’ve done is fantastic
I pray me and my angel get to do similar roles soon, peace
Thanks so much and may the Lord Almighty grant you the desires of your heart!
I'm a new subscriber from motherland Ghana 🥰
Glad to have you here, Jannet! Much love from the family!
your boy was right! you just have to pull. good team work Family by Nature
Thank you!
Please u have to turn ur soil n add some black soil. Thanks
Thank you!
👏👏🌴👏👏
Thank you!
Wow classic 👍🏾
Nana thanks!
I love this
Thank you!
😂😂😂The way bruv held the cutlas and cut the cassava tells he hasn't done farming before. Just one hit the cassava plant must fall. 😂😂😂
Definitely done farming before but just rusty after 33 years lol. It’s like a language:) The ground was hard due to the harmattan. Next harvest will be far easier:)
Such a happy family
Thank you so much! Stay blessed!
Awesome
Thank you!
Organic food healthy food.
Indeed, Florence! No fertiliser, just rain and sunshine:) Thanks for watching!
WOW 😁 Thats great you save money from buying in the market.
What other veg have you got in your farm.
Thank you, Gladys! It’s a great feeling to eat stuff from your own garden. In terms of veg the main one is Kontomire (cocoyam leaves). We are currently nursing other ones to grow.
We plant cassava stems
Slice it horizontally then boil it with some little salt and then mix curry powder onions a little bit of salt plus some wheat flour or also add some garlic if you eat garlic then deep the slices in the mixture. And fry it for break fast with omelete. Thank me later
Oh wow! Thanks for the tip! Will definitely try.
Please make a video on the numerous uses of cassava.
Hey Mickey my brother! That’s a good idea. Thanks and greetings to wifey!
Excellent!
Thanks a lot!
Lovely fam ❤️
Thank you 🤗
Wonderful to be able to eat from the garden. I think everyone should have a mini farm at home and grow some of what they eat...
Love your family...I wish I had a big family too 😍!
Thanks a lot, sis! Much love from the family! You are absolutely right. We are nursing some seeds and we will grow different stuff. It feels good to eat from your own backyard:)
Educating
Thank you!
This is simply beautiful ❤🙏
Thank you!
The soil there is good for cassava you can plant more there it be will be helpful
Indeed it is, Kwasi! Yes we will be growing more. It’s great to eat from your own garden:)
Truely eating off the land - love it 😍
Thanks Bisola! It feels so good!
You got me laughing using shovel and asking for water to be poured... That sounds more like city garden farming 😂😂😂
I can understand it is because of Thy dry season where the ground is do hard to pull the cassava from.
Anyways that was the way to illustrate to the kids who were seeing this for the first time.. You are really impacting your family with these experiences.. Duke couldn't wait for the long process 😂😂
love your family
Thank you, Fred! Oh yes the water helped lol. Thought I could dig a bit with the shovel and pull, but I realised the soil was harder than I thought lol. Yes Duke couldn’t wait lol. He wanted action fast hahaha. It was so exciting pulling it out finally! Such a bountiful harvest. Much love from the family! Stay blessed.
I am very proud of you guy guys
Thanks a lot bro!
This is awesome i really enjoy watching the whole video wonderful family stay bless

You plant a seed and you harvest a crop.

Good. Good job, Brother.
God bless you all.
All the best.

Cassava don't grow from the seed just planting a tree.

U should have done this a day before
Thanks for watching. It was a great learning experience for the family:)
Duke did a good job, i must say it. But daddy needs some more training to uproot cassava, still not perfect, though lol. Big ups to Lilia
Thanks for watching, Ben! Yeah Duke was good! Can’t remember the last time I uprooted cassava lol. At least we know how to make it easier next time.
Very excited and proud of you sir. The way you are exposing your children and your wife is commendable. Next time when you to harvest please pour water under the tree a day ahead and it get easier to unroot the tubers.
Thank you, I will. The water made a big difference:) Thanks for watching!
We have watching your channel since you landed home with your family.
Dry season time
Yes ooo. Thanks for watching!
Well done guys 💪 all the hard work of planting and looking after that Cassava, pays off 100%. You were perfectly right about the leaves 🍁 lol. As soon as I saw you putting them away, I was like oh no 🙈 !!! I wish I was there to cook some delicious Cassava leaves stew 🍲. Hope you guys enjoyed eating it, it’s well deserved. Blessings family by Nature. 👏👌💪✊🏾🙏❤️🇸🇱🇬🇧👁️
Yes! Thank you, Fred! I missed your cassava leaves stew with Shaki lol. Can’t wait for you to come around, bro. It’s amazing to harvest good food in our own garden. To God be the glory for making everything possible! Greetings to the family!
I saw that they were smelling it.
Probably out of curiosity:)
I love your family and videos, actually am a Ghanian born in Nigeria and I have leaving here all my life. Now I have children and I will want them to grow up in Ghana. We have been contemplating about moving to either Accra or Kumasi. I prefer Kumasi because of the cost of leaving. Am originally from Volta Region (Ketu) please kindly give an advice
They relocated from Europe and you want them to advice you on how to cross the border 😂!!!
Love your videos, very entertaining.
I think your cutlass skills need upgrading 😂😂
Glad you like them, Stanley! Yes ooo it’s rusted after 33 years in Europe lol.
@@FamilyByNature
🤣😂😂
This quality of cassava is very expensive in the Western world 🌎
Oh yes!
Please can you get the family microphones,we want to hear you guys voice clear, love you all❤️❤️
Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback. Much love from the family!
Wow, that's a big harvest. I didn't realise the effort that goes into the harvest. Why is Ghana poor?
A big harvest indeed, Mickey! We shouldn’t be poor actually! We are so blessed it’s unbelievable.
Send me my own cassava
Coming:) Thanks for watching!
Good job sir it seems it is a dry season over there
Thank you, Susan! Yes we have the dry season and it has not rained over a month. That’s why adding the water helped:)
@@FamilyByNature yep know you are having organic very healthy
In uganda we use a hoe to harvest cassava. Great job😍
Thanks for watching! Actually I went out to buy a hoe, but couldn’t get one lol. The lady had the cutlass only so I got it. Using a hoe is much better, but the water really helped as the soil was dry due to the harmattan.
@@FamilyByNature ok, hope the kids loved it❤
@@fatmahnakazibwe5151 oh yes:) Thanks!
😅😂 u pull and wiggle the stem
Thank you! The ground was hard due to the harmattan. Soaking I with the water helped:)
I can't stop laughing. Dad is good. You're back. You created too much mess. All the same, you guys have done well. You get starch for ironing, too. And the cassava skin is for goats and sheep's to eat.
Thank you! It’s a learning process.
Next time, don't attempt two cassavas at the same time. You never know just one could be enough for the family. And if that happens, the other may go waste. Just so you know. Also you have to attempt to uproot it , and that technique shows you where the tubers are. Your soil isn't loamy and that isn't good for planting... If you really want to do this backyard garden, then you will need to buy black soil and mix it with it
Thanks a lot!
How cassava is harvested
Thanks for watching!
You just need to grab the stem and uproot it without digging under
Thank you! The ground was dry due to the harmattan so I thought uprooting straight would difficult. The water made it easier to uproot:)
The soil is very dry and that makes it hard to be uprooted .
Indeed. That’s why the water helped:)
Cassava leaf is not Kontombire. That’s cocoyam
Yes it is. Thanks for watching!
Lol now you realize how d farmers suffer. Congratulations
Especially in the dry season:) Thank you!
Monsanto, if you are able to GMO all of our natural seeds because of profit, can you get the sticks too?😂
Not sure about that:)
@@FamilyByNature You think Monsanto can GMO the sticks too?
@@cheendo7400 It would be difficult once I control the sticks in my garden:)
@@FamilyByNature we shouldn’t allow that in Ghana. It is evil.
Woooow 😂😂😂👍.
Real experience
Oh yes! Real experience and education for the family. Thanks for watching!
