La Familia en la Finca, Presentado Por Yasmina
The Family at the Farm As Presented By Yasmina

(Please note, the farm is now run by Leonidas and Alicia. It was first run by Peter, later by Yasmina, but now only by Leonidas and Alicia. Sometimes Yasmina is still at the farm, but your contact will be with Leonidas and Alicia. Most of these pictures below are several years old but serve to give the general idea of the farm.)

Some Pictures of Other People:

 

Melissa Troutman came for a visit.
	Santo, a campesino who sometimes works for us, on typical campesino transport - mountain bike

 

 In the picture below, on the right with the baseball cap is Ismael, a local who taught us some costly lessons in our land purchase.  Ismael is also the owner of one of the local minibuses that we used to use.

 

Attendees of the second local meeting of the Finca, November 19, 2004 (The previous week, we had 65 attendees but no camera.)  Present were 13 campesinos (standing), Scott Miguel (seated), and Peter (taking picture)

 

VISITORS:

Here are some folks who have visited us recently.  Sara is taking notes at a meeting.  She took great notes.  Also note the beds we use in the background.

We love it when musicians come.

 

Here's Lauren.  "Oh, you wanted part of this?" she says.

 

Sorry, I already ate your part. Well, you can try and suck out what's left if you really want.

 

Here are two of the neighbor's girls.

This is Maya.  She was a great worker if we ever saw one.

 

Here's Peter's dad Peter.  He helped out with all kinds of things.  He and Maya were always speaking German.  They claimed Martin Luther had said, "Rurpset und furtzet und zeiget das euchs schmecket" or some such which we want to put up as a sign inside our dining area once we have one.

Rob did some great work painting inside.

Rebecca said she was from Canada.  What do you think?
