9,000 ft. of chain link fence to be installed.
August 2006

   

Approximately 9,000 ft. of fence had to be built using the concrete posts and chain link fence pictured here.  A clearing for the new road to access the farm circles the lands perimeter.  A clearing for livings quarters and an office has been carved out of the dense vegetation and construction is well under way.   Work on installation of the fence was completed in December 2006.  A well has been dug and electricity extended back to the farm from the main highway (approx. 7 miles) to the farm.   The building of the herd has started with the purchase of the first 20 goats.   
 
Several capitol projects still need to be funded, such as a tractor/loader for use on the farm, a wagon that can be pulled by the tractor, a set of plows,  and a set of disks for the tractor.  Fr. Martin's vehicle has finally given out and needs to be replaced as well.
