Hey all, so this is likely the last time I´ll use internet until I leave the farm, so I would love to hear from anyone who wants to call me. It costs me about $4 to make a call just to say ¨call me back¨and then hang up, so I would love it if you could call me on Skype just because you feel like it. It´s best to call after 5 pm Eastern time and even better after 8 or 9pm.
From Skype: Set the country choice to Mexico (which will automatically input the country code). Then type in 1-434-1121-321 and hit send. If it doesn´t go through, just try again because the signal goes in and out so if I don´t pick up, it probably never rang. But it does work (I´ve tested it from Skype) so just don´t give up.
From a phone/calling card: Dial 001-52-1-434-1121-321. And the same thing goes as above about trying again (and again).
The primary cell phone provider in Mexico is a monopoly and charges criminally high rates to make calls. But I have free incoming calls and it´s not that much from skype.
Other than all that, some things I´ve been doing lately:
-preparing beds with fish emolsion (think decomposing fish parts) and bio-char
-planting purple mustard, parsley, beets, cabbage, fennel, etc
-feeding ducks, pigs, geese, chickens
-making compost
-hearding the pigs back in when they dug under the fense and escaped
-baking bread (today we made focaccia bread to use as pizza crust and a rye molassas loaf)
-digging a wallow for the pigs
It´s great because I´m learning a lot about permaculture and how everything works and fits together, not just working.
A new WWOOFer is coming today which will make 5 of us. He´s also Canadian, but I haven´t met him yet so I don´t know much more.
Hope everyone reading this is doing well. I miss you all (and thanks for taking the time to read this)

Steph,
So glad that you have a chance to write and say what you are doing. did you ever think that you'd be able to experience growing and cooking food on an organic farm ..and chasing noncompliant pigs? You're really a renissance woman!
I'm going to try and call you tonight, but if it doesn't go through, please know that I am thinking of you, and will be following your adventures via your mom.
Te amo,
Barbara
Stephie!
I'm so glad you're having such a good WWOOFing experience. I knew my slave-labor experience wasn't the real thing. You're learning what's going on and feeling like you're part of something big. That's awesome! I'm glad I know how have good stories to tell.
And your cooking skills! We have a Stephanie vs. Cracker Barrel taste test. I always read your blogs during the day and want to call but realize 6am is probably a bad idea. I'll try to remember later at night.
See you soonish!
