Peasant, farmer, is a noble activity and one of the oldest in humanity that, despite the harshness of the job, is essential in the food production chain, fundamental for the feeding of human life.

Over time and notwithstanding, the industrial development for field and/or agricultural tasks, as well as the modernization with equipment and machinery that facilitate the tasks of preparing the land, planting, irrigation and harvesting, the work carried out by the peasants is still important.

That is why, as a modest tribute to all the people who -for centuries- have carried out these tasks in the field; and very particularly in our communal territory, is that we want to highlight this activity -whether in the rural or more urban sectors of our commune- through the different tasks carried out as such, such as foremen, key chains, storekeepers, storekeepers, mechanics, bakers , milkmen, vegetables, and an endless number of trades as important as each other. Most learned in the rigor of daily work and learned from their parents, grandparents.

Likewise, we want to highlight the wisdom and that ability to take the time to cultivate not only the land, but also the purest traditions of the Chilean countryside, such as Creole sports, games and creativity, whether through singing to the human and to I guess, the singing of cuecas and tunes, typical food and drinks, crafts through multiple skills and talent, all of which form the essence of our cultural identity.

There are so many people who could be named, since each Pichilemina family has more than someone whose origins come from a peasant family -like my own maternal grandparents- however, no close family photographic backup can prove it, but only by our word.

But -what are friends for?- they have given us a beautiful testimony of the field of our commune, which, by the way, should not be the only one; but it is the one we have and that belongs to the family of Don Baldomero Carreño Carreño from the Nuevo Reino sector, close to Ciruelos, on the northeast side of the commune.
