![]() Paradise is never easy and when you get there you finally realize that life is like nothing like you thought it was heaven made a big mistake for lettin' you in Welcome to my new blog! My name is Nate Olive and I am the director of Ridge to Reef. Paradise is Never Easy is a song I wrote about living here and how the image of paradise is here but in fact it takes a lot of work and failures to make this place, or any place, what it is. Some see it as paradise, others see bush. Are any of us really worthy of paradise? Once we get there, then what do we do? Join me and our amazing staff as we continue this experiment of the Virgin Islands Sustainable Farm Institute as Ridge to Reef Farm.... remember, it's not the destination we are living for, but rather the journey. As my friend & mentor Ray Jardine once told me, "Paradise is right under your feet." So perhaps paradise is not something we physically make, but a perspective we choose to have. Or maybe it's both. Hmmmmmm what do you think?
