At Mama Anita’s Farm, every plant is grown right here on the island with care and intention.
When you take a plant home, we want you to feel confident knowing how to care for it, help it grow, and enjoy it for years to come.
These guides are designed to be simple, practical, and easy to follow—whether you’re planting for the first time or adding to your garden.

From Waste to Worth
At Mama Anita’s Farm, we believe in using what we already have. From cardboard boxes and paper towel rolls to cups and containers, we turn everyday items into tools for growing food.
We also collect rainwater, make our own compost, and reuse materials in ways that help us care for the land while reducing waste.
Sometimes, the simplest things are all you need to grow something meaningful.
Many of the plants you see started just like this.
Want to learn how to start your own seedlings or reuse what you already have at home? Follow along with us and see what’s possible.
