Provision

Grace Farm keeps a large garden, complete with banana trees. It provides fresh fruits and vegitables for the missionaries and the children. There is a young man employed to work it daily. He is pictured with a watering can in the background of this photo.

Here is a well from which he draws water for the plants. Zoe I and often went to watch for frogs here. A separate, deep (safe) well exists for human consumption on the farm. I drank from it after it was filtered in the Eden's kitchen.

The milk we used in our trice daily hot tea came from one of the two Grace Farm milk cows. Bubba Simon boiled (pastuerization?) our alotted portion each morning when it was brought fresh to the door by a farm employee.

Cows, sheep, goats and chickens also provide fresh meat and eggs as well as income for the farm. I failed to photograph the cows and chickens but here the goats and sheep who were herded together by possibly the oldest man I saw on the farm. Life expectancy is short in Malawi. The sheepherder is probably around 50 years old.

These ladies are employees of Grace Farm and are seen heading home after a days work. They have the most remarkable sense of balance. The pictures do not lie.
