Reflections on Bill Gates and Farm Gates: Don't Sit On the Fences (jajajaja .. a barbed joke)

9/10/2011

Gates and fences are a critical part of a farm's infrastructure.  Gates and fences are important to keep animals within a designated area and to protect trees and plants from animals getting in.  Gates and fences also delineate property boundaries.   That is, gates and fences have a critical role for security and safety of humans, animals and plants on a farm.  At Finca Rio Perla we just completed some major repairs of our gates and fences to protect and secure our new investments for a new infrastructure for our goats and our greenhouse, and our planting of coffee trees and cacoa trees.  A major new fence was placed at the very highest parts of the farm, to protect our new coffee trees.  Thanks to our neighbor, Martin, for sharing the costs for building this new fence.

So, gates and fences keep in the good and keep out the bad, so to speak.  And, closing gates and closing gaps in fences is a major responsibility of all in a farm community.  Closing of gates and holes in fences does not mean, however, that we do not have an "open door policy".  Go figure ... jajajajaja ....

Anyway, Jose and Roger, with help from Miguel and Esteban and Juan and guidance from Efrain, have been busy fixing up our gates and fences in preparation for our next major building project ... the new horse stables next to the new horse arena.

Lauren's vision for Finca Rio Perla to become an equestrian center is becoming a reality.  The summer visit of Dr. Raul Jimenez, a veterinary doctor based in Miami, energized us and helped to provide technical and professional advice for constructing our new horse stables and improved pasture. 

With respect to Bill Gates, I have nothing to say.  Jajajajaja .... Pura Vida. Dr. Paulo
