The founders of Felix Quinoa Farming Industry (FQFI) trace their farming roots to their Guyanese grandfather, Mr. Thomas Felix. In the early 1920s, Thomas Felix acquired 150 acres of farm land in North Cumberland, East Canje in Berbice, Guyana. He became a share cropper and leased parcels of land to various individuals for a monthly rental fee. Mr. Felix was an astute businessman. He planted 50 acres of rice every season for local markets and consumption. He also cultivated cash crops, such as oranges, tangerines, mangoes, bananas, cassava, plantains and other fruits and vegetables for the local markets. In addition, Thomas Felix successfully negotiated a contractual agreement with Bookers Sugar Estates, Ltd, a multinational sugar and food producer that once owned and controlled 80% of Guyana’s (formerly British Guiana) sugar estates, to supply various types of wood from the timber trees on his property, e.g., Wallaba, Bulletwood, that were used for varied functions. Grenville Felix, the only son of Thomas, continued the family farming business and, working with his own eight (8) sons, expanded the family agribusiness to include 200 more acres and additional livestock and poultry (sheep, goats, pigs, and chickens). In 2016, the Felix Family agreed to lease a portion of its 350 acres of farm land to FQFI to use as test plots to plant Quinoa seeds. FQFI’s founders are proud to support the Felix family tradition with this arrangement to help introduce sustainable, climate resilient Quinoa farming to Guyana, the motherland of our forefathers.
