    Ep #29 - Red Bananas and Hot Sauce with Aubrey & Lubitza of Free Up Farm on the island of Dominica

    In this flavorful episode of Moringa For Life, Jensen cheffs out over red bananas and house-made Moringa hot sauce while diving deep into resilience, roots, and regeneration with Aubrey and Lubitza of Free Up Farm. Nestled on seven acres of lush permaculture in Dominica, Free Up Farm is more than a tropical oasis — it’s a living model of what rebuilding with intention looks like. After Hurricane Maria ravaged the island, Aubrey returned to his father’s homeland with a mission: to turn devastation into abundance. Alongside Lubitza, they’ve cultivated over 60 tropical food and medicinal plants while building a community-centered model for food, education, and agrotourism. We talk about: How Moringa became a cornerstone of their ecosystem — why it matters and how they grow it Aubrey’s early inspiration from the Moringa For Life course, taken before he even knew where his project would land The emotional weight of rebuilding after disaster and reconnecting to ancestral land Designing a diverse seven-acre permaculture system, one plant and principle at a time Why they believe agrotourism and pay-what-you-can models are the future for food equity in Dominica This one’s a powerful blend of dirt-under-the-nails practicality and big-picture purpose — seasoned, of course, with a little Moringa hot sauce.

    From Village Roots to Global Impact: Libby Wild and the Moringa Movement in Indonesia In this episode of Moringa For Life, host Jensen Cummings sits down with Libby Wild of SSP, a Certified Moringa Grower and a driving force behind a grassroots agricultural revolution in Indonesia. Libby shares how local villages in her region have partnered with her to cultivate Moringa—not just as a crop, but as a means of empowerment, entrepreneurship, and community upliftment. With deep cultural roots and agricultural wisdom, these villages are turning the miracle tree into a sustainable, profitable movement. Libby also discusses how more communities are joining independently, inspired by the success of others. With over two million tons of Moringa already grown and sold, this is more than farming—it’s transformation. Tune in to hear how Moringa is changing lives, one village at a time.

    Ep #23 - A follow up conversation with Aubrey Bynoe - Dominca

    In this episode we get a follow up conversation with Aubrey Bynoe from Dominca on where he is now since he last spoke with Mariko. In the Last episode Mariko and Aubrey have a great conversation about his amazing Moringa and Permaculture Project on the island of Dominica.  We have been so inspired by Aubrey ever since he came through the Moringa Certification Course four years ago.  He was a man on a mission and quickly absorbed everything he could to integrate into his vision.  He purchased land in Dominica where his Father is from, and after traveling and studying Permaculture and Organic Farming practices he finally landed to be full time on his land, Free Up Farm.  He is also advocating for Permaculture and natural practices with the local decision makers on the island which is so great.  Aubrey is so fully dedicated to his mission and it is so uplifting.  We love to see the younger generations passionate about creating these new world hubs.  Check out his website and IG @freeupfarm www.freeupfarm.com In This Episode: Regenerative Design Comfortable in three month drought using Permaculture Indigenous Kalinago People of Dominica  Learning to adapt to climate changes AirCrete Structures Hurricane Reselience and Moringa's contribution Foliar Spray Lead by example  Behaving as if the God in All Life Matters Unlearning and Relearning Location of Moringa project? Dominica What is your Moringa Project? We are using Moringa to explore hurricane resiliency, the revitalization of organic agriculture and showcase nutritional and culinary applications of Moringa and the many other fruits and perennial  systems we have at the farm. When and where did your Moringa journey begin? I was first introduced to Moringa through traveling through Costa Rica. In 2016 I completed my growers course. Why did you step onto this path? Nothing else besides food and water made much sense so through permaculture I began exploring these topics more in-depth. What keeps you on this path? So far, permaculture is one of the only things that makes sense. What do you want Moringa to know about you and your work? That we are inspired by Morninga’s resilience, adaptability and abundance and that we emulate these attributes.
