My New Stone Walls

These are more pictures of my new farm in Cabarete Dominican Republic

I am going to put a garden around the new finca with the goats in the middle surrounded by Stone Walls and either 1 or 2 strands of Barbed Wire to prevent them from getting into the gardens and completely destroying them since they eat everything! Imagine 30 feet border of plants-fruits-vegetables surrounding a 1+ acre pasture for my goats and that is what it will look like!

I am looking to make a beautiful property to enjoy and since this is my second mini farm I know how to do it right and it will be a lot better than my first one becuase of the education I got from doing the first one:) This stone wall is 1 meter high but will have 1 or 2 strands of barbed wired on the top of it to keep the goats in! Yeah if you were going to ask it is freaking expensive to build that bad boy but I am biting the bullet and doing this project right from start to finish to the best of my ability:) I like these stone walls so much I plan on using them in different heights to make pretty the property other than the pasture for the goats and sheep! ------------------------------------------------- Hasta Pronto!

The New Finca-A work in Progress!

I have had 4 Haitians working for the last four days and you can see one in the foreground wheeling a wheelbarrow full of weeds away! In the lower part you see cuttings that I planted already on the property!

---------------------------------------

Today I planted even more and I also planted my first Yuca on the property! Yuca takes 8 months to grow before you can eat it and I plan on planting every week so I will always have Yuca for both myself and my friends to eat as well as the people that work for me!

Tomorrow I will plant Banana and Plantains Below you will see what it looked like before the Haitians started working and what they have done so far or partially what they have done! I enjoy working with Haitians as they are good and hard workers! That is what they come for and that is what they do and do it well! This was the property when I bought it! Overgrown with weeds and bushes that were for the most part junk although I do have many fruit and palm trees along with some humongus shade trees! My goats will be living large here in the next 2-3 months:)

-----------------------------------------------------------

I am going to work these 4 guys until I have the whole 13540 m2 cleaned up and the border of the property completely cleared for 10 meters to plant fruit trees-vegetables and every flowering shrub and tree I can find in the country! That was what I did on my other property and I enjoyed every second of it and plan on enjoying this even more!

Almost a moma!

This is Goat the Matriarch of Finca De Escott in Cabarete Dominican Republic who as you can see is pregnant again and looks like she is going to have at least 3 new kids for us in the next month or so! So far she has only had boys and I am hoping for at least one girl this time! I have three of her sons here on the property and want to have a change of luck this time!:) My Gardener Daniel thinks she is only capable of making boys but that doesn't make sense to me when I bred other animals in the past!

Hasta Pronto!

New kid in the family!

This is the new member of the family and she was born yesterday! This is the first female goat born at Hacienda Escott ever as all other kids were boys! I wanted more girls and the mama who I traded for one of the boys from my last litter was surprisingly Pregnant! Gracia Dio for the new addition!She is young and sweet just like her mommy and is a most wanted edition to the Finca!

Hasta Pronto
