It’s spring break! This morning we ventured about 20 miles from the resort where we’re staying to have breakfast at the Flora Farms restaurant in San Jose del Cabo.
It was a beautiful venue surrounded by the verdant gardens popping with the yellows and pinks of sunflowers and jamaica. The food was delicious and the drinks refrescante!
Of course, I couldn’t just enjoy this magical morning…
When I found out the owners are a white couple from California, I started to think about whether or not this farm is a net positive for the Mexican people in the area. It is clearly a place that provides quite a few jobs. But is it a place that could’ve been owned by Mexican citizens? My husband also asked, “Where do you think they get the water to do this?” It wasn’t a question of safety, but scarcity of supply.
I haven’t really worked out all my thoughts on this. I just know that there was something about this scenario that made me uneasy.
Let’s not even talk about how I feel about staying at this resort…
