Richard wrote that they had been missed by the hurricane but that there had been so much rain that it was difficult to get much done. They had to move the cement block machine to higher ground and the road that they share with the next door Mayan community of Rancho Santiago was in desparate shape. A tourist from Floriday who visited gave them $200 and they were able to buy 10 loads of gravel to help repair the road which will help both the farm and the community.
A couple of local young men are going to begin setting the posts this week for the pens which will give them some work and income. Also Richard has a neat idea for a barn that will open on the lower level into the pens and on the upper level to the road so that feed and hay can be unloaded directly into the loft. Cool arrangement.
They are still working to get electricity to the farm but there is a hangup with getting a transformer. Right now they can have limited electricity by using a generator for a few hours a day.
