One of our research assistants for the ecology course was a wonderful man named Immanuel. He has a large family with seven children of his own and then takes care of many of his sibling's children as well. He has a farm and grows many different crops including ground nuts (like peanuts), matoke (a starchy banana), sweet bananas, sweet potatoes, beans, maize and tea. Here, with two of his children, he shows how you pick the top 2 1/2 leaves. The leaves are picked and sorted and then processed at a nearby tea factory. He also has many cattle, goats, chickens and pigs on his farm, and some adorable puppies as well!
