NeverLand Notes

IT'S A BOY!

La yaegwa, our mare, has given birth! This after months of debate on whether she was even pregnant. Horses are pregnant from 310 to 370 days! Thats a two month lee way, so it is hard to know. Not to mention we had no idea exactly when it was she got pregnant. And if she even was pregnant or was THAT just fooling around!? Free range horse, its bound to be this way. Next time I will pay more attention.It's a colt, I am told he is really big for a new born and healthy. The color of cafe with cream! I think his name will be Zeus. But Olympus was a possiblity. Any suggestions please let me know. I hope I can post pictures the moment I get home.
Tina, me that is, is off the farm. I have had a family emergency and am currently in the US. I will be in Quito on Dec 4 and home by Dec 8th. Sorry folks, my family needed more than anyone else. Volunteers are welcome, Killo is there and Andres, just go head on!

Brewing Hope Cafe'

I am selling cafe in the US to help raise money for buying property and keeping the volunteer program going. Not to mention it wil help fund all projects at NeverLand. If you or anyone else is interested in purchasing cafe please email me at chirusco@yahoo.com We do NOT have an export license. We are trying but so far no good. We can ship tho, and anyone traveling from Ecuador back to the states can transport cafe pretty easily , and quite legally, in suitcases. Consider this as a way to raise money for the farm and help yourself with travel expenses. Write to me, Tina, at the address above for more details.

Our cafe is an excellent high altitude, select picked, fresh roasted, totally Lojano, shaded, organic, casi biodynamic, defintely fair trade, altho not certified fair trade, cafe arabica. And it tastes good too. $15. usd a pound, 25. for 2 pounds.. And a great price for orders of 20 pounds and over!

I am hoping that anyone who has been here at Neverland would volunteer to update our web page, address, the works. I have a video, photos and all but cannot put it together. Any volunteers? Hey Heather, Ben and Kieth! I know I said someone else was doing it, but it appears someone else is busy. HELP!

Thats all fer now folks! Safe travels, Peace! Tina
