Greetings! My name is Rickford Benjamin, and I am a proud farmer hailing from the beautiful Island of Barima-Waini. Growing up surrounded by the rich, lush landscapes of Guyana, I have cultivated not only crops but a deep appreciation for our vibrant culture and the strong sense of community that defines us. From the sweet aroma of ripe mangoes to the comforting taste of pepperpot on special occasions, my life has been shaped by the flavors and traditions of our land. The serene banks of the Pomeroon River serve as my refuge, where I often reflect on the stories passed down through generations.
Being a farmer allows me to connect with the land and its people in a profound way. I take pride in contributing to our local markets and ensuring that our traditional foods, like cassava and plantain, remain a staple in our diets. The joys of sharing a meal with friends and family, celebrating our festivals, or simply engaging with fellow farmers at the markets all reinforce the bonds of our community. Whether it’s discussing the best techniques for growing rice or reminiscing about the days spent picking coconuts in St. Monica, every conversation brings me closer to my roots.
As I journey through life, I cherish the connection with the Guyanese diaspora, knowing that no matter where we are in the world, we carry a piece of Guyana in our hearts. I look forward to welcoming visitors to our beautiful island, sharing our stories, and celebrating the resilience and spirit of our people. Together, we keep our culture alive and vibrant, ensuring that the next generations feel the warmth of our heritage.
