From Palm to Table
High in the crown, a practiced climber chooses a heavy green coconut while a second pair of hands works below. On a solid block, careful strokes of a machete peel back the husk and open the fruit without wasting the sweet water inside.
Coconut gathering is skilled work built on balance, strength and respect for a remarkably generous tree. Drink, food, oil, fiber and useful shell all arrive from the same harvest.
