I had a friend who had such a place in Teopisca - just south of San Cristobal de las Casas. He grew organic vegetables and sold them to a restaurant
in San Cristobal. Had an irrigation system - view toward old unexcavated Mayan mounds. Very charminig. He bought his 5 acres (with house) or so for
about $15,000. Six years later, after building a concrete block workshop and adding a room to the house, he sold it for $30,000. These are cash
deals. I don't know about any licenses he had for selling his produce.

Nice. In our case, I'm hoping it will be a long-term situation, but nice that he improved and sold it for profit.

A related question to my original topic:
Are there parts of Baja that are especially horse-oriented?

Before you get too horse involved in Baja I would see if there was a Veterinarian in the area you are interested in that has experience with large
animals, especially equines........can't be too careful

I know a lot of folks around here that keep horses with no problems. Access to hay and plenty of vets.

Wow, great! Awesome link!
Trail rides are about my speed, but my daughters like to compete in barrel racing-type Gymkhana stuff. Can't wait to show them the
amigoshombresacaballo page.

So far no expensive stock for us. We have had two horses given to us in the past year - one a quarter/percheron mix with PSSM, and the other a
foundation quarterhorse on the brink of starvation. We're new at horse ownership, but have a fantastic trainer/mentor, and a great little family
Gymkhana club, and feel like we've entered a little section of Paradise.
