Mama Anita's Farm
Built Together. Grown with Purpose.
Mama Anita’s Farm is more than a place where food is grown—it is a shared commitment, rooted in love, partnership, and community. Located behind Office General on the Queen’s Highway in Governor’s Harbour, Eleuthera, the farm was built by Juanita Pinder and Roderick Pinder, partners in life and equal partners in the work that brought Mama Anita’s Farm to life.
Inspired by generations of farming before them, Juanita and Roderick poured their time, resources, and hearts into turning a piece of land into a working farm that feeds people, teaches children, and strengthens community ties. From the earliest days, every decision—planting, building, investing, and growing—was made together.

A True Partnership
Juanita carries forward the knowledge passed down through her family—the belief that every seed matters, nothing should be wasted, and farming is an act of care. Roderick stands alongside her every step of the way, offering unwavering emotional support, hands-on labor, and the financial foundation that helped turn a vision into reality.
Mama Anita’s Farm exists because they built it together. It continues because they continue together.
The First Big Harvest — 2021
In 2021, the farm reached an unforgettable milestone: its first major watermelon harvest. The harvest was a moment of pride, proof, and possibility — a sign that their hard work, patience, and belief in the land were paying off.
The watermelons grown that year were more than produce. They symbolized perseverance, teamwork, and the joy of seeing something nurtured from seed to harvest. Those early successes helped set the foundation for everything Mama Anita’s Farm has become since.
The images shared here capture that moment — the land, the harvest, and the people behind it.
Hands in the Soil. Heart in the Farm.
Joel
Joel plays an essential role in the day-to-day life of Mama Anita’s Farm. Working closely with Juanita and Roderick, he helps tend the land, care for the crops, and ensure the farm runs smoothly from planting to harvest.
From preparing beds and maintaining plants to harvesting produce and assisting customers, Joel is deeply involved in every stage of the farm’s work. He understands the rhythms of the land and the needs of the people it serves, helping make sure customers leave with fresh, healthy produce and a positive experience.
His dedication, reliability, and care support both the farm and the partnership behind it — helping Juanita and Roderick continue growing food for the community with consistency and pride.
Growing for Today — Teaching for Tomorrow
Mama Anita’s Farm continues to grow fresh, organic food for the people of Eleuthera while creating a space where children can learn how food is grown, how soil is cared for, and why farming matters. Every harvest reflects the same values Juanita and Roderick started with respect for the land, shared effort, and giving back to the community that supports them.
This farm is their shared legacy—and it’s still growing.
