photos - kenscoff - mountain farming

The Kenscoff area is farm country! Kenscoff is also a mountainous area.

The soil here is very fertile with good rains. These people are working in this level farm area.

The Haitian farmers are very industrious. These farmers are farming the slope of the mountain.

The slopes can be steep. In the distance you can see a couple of men farming on these terraced slopes.
This is a closer view. They balance themselves by keeping one leg on the terrace edge and reaching up with the other leg. If they fall they fall forward and not backward down the slope!
