At Nekupe, my parents decided to plant a fruit everyone loves, the legendary avocado! Two and a half years ago they began planting 700 Benik and Simpson avocado trees over 13 acres of land. They vowed to plant avocados because of their significant health benefits and wide popularity. .  

Some of their benefits include weight maintenance, reduced cholesterol, elevation of serotonin, increased immune system and cancer prevention.
