Farm Chicks Season 1

Farm Chicks with Debbie and Becky: A Farming Journey Rooted in Tradition

Debbie Bissoon and her sister Rebecca Bissoon have embarked on an exciting new adventure with their farming series, Farm Chicks with Debbie and Becky. This unique show takes viewers across Jamaica, offering an inside look at the world of agriculture through the eyes of the sisters, who share a deep connection to farming from their rural upbringing.

A Family Tradition

Hailing from the heart of Clarendon, Jamaica, Debbie and Rebecca grew up immersed in a farm-to-table lifestyle, nurtured by their family, who remains active in farming to this day. Their family’s farms have cultivated a variety of crops, including peppers, tomatoes, sweet peppers, melon, pumpkins, cucumbers, along with raising poultry and livestock.

The Farm Chicks Series

Backed by Digicel Foundation and Volkswagen Jamaica, the Bissoon sisters have taken their passion for farming on the road. Farm Chicks with Debbie and Becky visits eight farms across Jamaica, showcasing a range of farming types, from livestock and ground produce to aqua farming. Each episode highlights the host farmers’ practices, offering viewers valuable insights into both commercial and backyard farming.

With their signature denim farm-ready outfits and a touch of glam, Debbie and Becky embrace each farm’s unique challenges, rolling up their sleeves and taking on the work for the day, all guided by their expert host farmers.

A Full-Circle Moment

Reflecting on this new venture, Debbie shares, “For us, this is a real full-circle moment. Growing up, if the backyard didn’t have what we needed, we’d get it from a community farmer or head to the market. Our grandmother, who was of Indian heritage, would make everything from scratch—from curry to coffee—so farming and food production have always been a part of our lives.”

Debbie’s passion for combining her media expertise with her love of farming shines through every episode. “We are excited to bring this show to life. It’s a platform to educate, entertain, and inspire our youth, especially women, to explore the possibilities of farming,” she adds.
