Farming is the main source of income in Pelenque. Some farmers use tractors while others work the ground with a plow and plant the seeds by hand (as shown in the picture below). Some of the crops they grow are corn, beans, bananas, coffee, sugar cane, garlic, and onions.

We traveled to Barquisimeto (Pelenque) with a group from our church. The Shaloam band performed during several church services, we helped with the children's Sunday School class, and played soccer and baseball with the youth.

Can you believe this growing season? Sholder-high corn on December 23.
