Arabica Coffee Farming|| FIRST EARLY CROP HARVESTING|| MAY 2026

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:02]Hello guys and good morning, good evening depending on where you are watching us from. This is a very early morning 7:00 a.m. in the morning with yet another video. Um it's a very very goomy goomy morning. The rain is the rain is still raining heavily and uh it's have come with some mixed fortunes.

[00:00:29]One of the benefits that we've got is that um our coffee is ripening and ripening very well. So we are about to start as you can see we about to start our alley crop harvest possibly today.

[00:00:50]These will be done today.

[00:00:52]So we expect to harvest few cherries because our cooperative society have also opened the factories for the farmers to uh deliver the cherries and we are glad because we are now starting now the second cycle of earning.

[00:01:17]Second cycle of earning.

[00:01:19]So, we normally handp pick them. I'll show you the video during the process.

[00:01:26]So, it's hard picked and um we only pick the ripe cherries, the ripe the red the red ripe cherries. These ones, we only pick the red ones and leave the green ones now for the next harvest. Harvesting normally happens once in a week or after every seven days.

[00:01:54]And in this case we pick just as mentioned we pick the only the red not this partially red with two reasons. One the quality of this red is not the same as this. Also, as a farmer, this cherry, this red, the deep red has more kilos than this because of the water.

[00:02:20]So, welcome back to our farm.

[00:02:26]Um, our beans are not doing very well because of the heavy rains, but um, we expect we expect uh an improvement as the rain continues to reduce. But nevertheless, we are happy with our coffee cherries turning red.

[00:02:52]It has been our moment of waiting to have some berries cherries to pick and and as you can see this is what I always tell you if you don't harvest you can see they have started falling off from the mother tree so if you don't check properly this one goes to waste right so it is always good to have timely harvest. Otherwise you are cing what you call um you are cing what you call losses and extreme losses to some extent because if for example heavy rains hit those ripe berries all of them fall off and that's also the good reason why you have not actually weeded because if they fall off and there's soil erosion It is double tragedy. Double tragedy.

[00:03:58]Double tragedy.

[00:04:00]So there are not as many but there are few here and there.

[00:04:06]There are few here and there.

[00:04:09]If we go around the farm definitely we'll have a not less than 2 kilos which is also something that we shouldn't waste at any given point.

[00:04:26]So thank you so much um thank you so much for your subscription.

[00:04:35]Thank you so much for your sharing.

[00:04:38]And um we are glad for your support.

[00:04:45]Very glad for your support.

[00:04:49]And I'm also happy that the farm is also um doing very very very well. Very well.

[00:05:02]Very well.

[00:05:06]I saw a comment from the one of us about why we have not done the weeding.

[00:05:14]There's a lot of weed. Yes, I agree.

[00:05:17]There's a lot of weed, but it's not advisable to to start weeding at this heavy rain. It is raining heavy. And what you'll do is that you also encourage the spiral illusion. So what you'll do is that we normally slash not we slash off. So we about to slash maybe possibly this week as we also t to our to our beans. So stay tuned in the next uh few videos you'll see a slight difference. So it's fun of part of the farm practices because weeding excessive weeding actually help helps or triggers lather triggers soil erosion and the soil erosion is a loss to the farmer because all the nutrients will have been carried by the by the rain.

[00:06:13]So we are doing very well. This particular plant coffee plant here I'm happy with the recovery the way it's recovering.

[00:06:24]It had been attacked by moles sometimes back. You can go and check in our videos. And you see today we'll harvest a few cherries from it.

[00:06:35]And um we So one of the measures that you should always try to do is to um is to prevent moles from attacking your farm.

[00:06:55]And this one will actually happen if you if you uh plant foods that are friendly to the moles. One of them is sweet potatoes.

[00:07:09]So avoid sweet potatoes anywhere near your farm.

[00:07:18]So this is how our coffee is performing.

[00:07:22]Um we are expecting to do our first cherry and um this one particular here I'm seeing some bit of uh blackness. I think it's either affected by the frost or the CBD. But the the good thing with royo it will still withstand even if we don't spray it will still withstand. So it's only a few cherries that will actually be affected but we'll cross monitor we'll close monitor to see how the situation goes and if it's persist we we are going to spray only this particular tree only this particular tree. So you're not going to spray the whole uh the whole land. No, you're only going to spray this particular coffee bush.

[00:08:31]So, continue watching.

[00:08:35]Um, this was more of an early early early early updates before we work on the farm, on the harvesting.

[00:08:48]the video will continue and uh I know you'll enjoy.

[00:08:57]Thank you so much.

[00:09:45]Whoa.

[00:10:04]The harvesting is still ongoing as you can see. Not that much.

[00:10:12]And uh but we thank God cuz it's start of the season.

[00:10:24]It's good. It's good.

[00:10:27]We expect more than this in the next subsequent harvest from the subsequent harvest.

[00:11:42]Guys, this is our harvest.

[00:11:46]We've uh managed to do some few cherries.

[00:11:52]There was some avocado here that we had harvested while we were harvesting the coffee. And now we are on that other stage of uh sorting. So once you are done with once you're done with uh harvesting there's that other option of sorting.

[00:12:16]So in this sorting we'll be um we'll be removing these green like these ones these green um these green uh berries that were most of them accidental those that were not accidental maybe because of the broken branches.

[00:12:39]So all these green ones we are going to remove them and dry them and uh sell them. So nothing goes to waste. So the only thing that we're going to deliver is these pure red cherries which I know um will be ideal for the making of the coffee. So this is our harvest today.

[00:13:04]First uh I crop this year 2026. This is our very first harvest.

[00:13:10]We expect in the subsequent harvest to have triple this quantity and um yeah we glad at least we have started a season with I think it's two or three kgs or so. So yeah so thank you so much.
