Manihot esculenta, commonly known as cassava, is a woody shrub native to South America. It belongs to the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. Cassava is extensively cultivated as an annual crop in tropical and subtropical regions for its tuberous root, which is rich in carbohydrates and serves as a significant source of dietary sustenance. It is referred to as yuca in Spanish and in the United States, and when processed into a powdery or pearly extract, it is known as tapioca. In its fried and granular form, it is called garri.

The easiest and fastest way to grow cassava is by inserting a bare stem cutting that is 1/3 to 1/2 the length of 6 to 8 inches into the soil. Please note that the cassava stem cuttings you will receive for your order will not have any leaves.

OUR STORY

We are homesteaders in St. Petersburg, Florida, managing our operations on a plot of land that is less than half an acre in size. Our food forest garden orchard yields surplus organic seeds, cuttings, and plants, all of which originate from our productive perennial or self-perpetuating species.

We take immense pleasure in consuming the freshest and most nutritious food directly from our own garden. Through composting all the organic waste generated from our garden and kitchen, we ensure the sequestration of carbon materials. By creating diverse habitats, we invite abundant and beneficial wildlife into our garden. Through the implementation of earthwork techniques such as swales, we effectively manage rainwater, spreading and storing it while preventing erosion on slopes. Our garden also boasts micro-climates that facilitate the growth of a wide array of edible plants. We are committed to maintaining a sustainable, regenerative, resilient, aesthetic, functional, and ever-evolving permaculture food forest garden.

We hope to inspire more people to embrace low-maintenance food forest gardens rather than high-maintenance lawns. By doing so, we can collectively reduce our carbon footprint and minimize pollution, working towards a better Earth for ourselves, future generations, and the planet.
