Description
While working on a service-learning project on Plenitud’s permaculture farm and education center, Tobias Knight of St. Thomas University in Minnesota takes a break to enjoy a ripe starfruit directly off the tree. Many fruit trees throughout the island were damaged and killed during the hurricane, and these were some of the first fruits that had formed and ripened since the storm, so they were a special treat. Thanks to the use of permaculture practices, Plenitud suffered a lower loss of fruit trees than conventional fruit farmers.
