We waited six months for an excavating machine operator crazy enough to dig us a reservoir. Finally it has happened. We had to pay for it, but it looks like we may have a lot of water to irrigate farmland in the village. At the moment the water is still rising and we aren’t sure how much water we will have. But it’s already head high. We are already using the water to irrigate our crops. This could be the answer to many problems of no water during the dry season. The potential is big but again like anything else we aren’t sure where it is going to take us. We are expecting the best. Again thank you to those of you who have invested in this project to see it go through. You know who you are. Pictures

So we have broken in the new year with eight rai ( 3 acres) of cherry tomatoes and japanese pumpkin. Also jalapeños and other various vegetable’s. A new reservoir has also been dug in order to supply water for all this during the dry season. The farmers are working very hard planting, plowing, transplanting, irrigating and fertilizing. At the moment we have three different farmers growing in three different areas. We are expecting to ship most of the harvest to a big market in Bangkok beginning in April. Thank you to all of you who follow, support and invest in our work. You are helping create jobs, business and self sufficiency for many. Don’t forget to check out more photos in our photo gallery.
