What started off as a 25 acre organic farm has turned into one of the most sought after experiences in Mexico. Flora’s Field Kitchen is the nucleus of this vision. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in the middle of the garden makes the farm to table concept extra fast and fresh. The day begins hours before dawn as the staff begin baking the breads, harvesting the crops and preparing the menu for the days guests, the owners and all the private events and high society weddings that may occur on any given day.
The harvesting of the greens continues throughout the day. All meats served at Flora’s Field Kitchen come from their nearby 150-acre ranch where animals are humanely raised on diets that do not include hormones or antibiotics. The experience gives you the feeling of wellness and balance that is incorporated into their menu and way of life. It is actually a simple formula, combine hand made food using farm fresh ingredients.
What they have accomplished on this 25 acres is amazing, every corner has been utilized yet feels open and not cramped. There are the little things like their own home made ice cream and there is the mind blowing hay-bail cottages that encircle the edges of the property. These owners have access to the fields, private pools and privileges to the grounds and spa.
Our private tour of the grounds was inspirational. The vibe of the place is tangible. You are at once transported and relaxed growing thirsty for their signature juices. So we headed back to the Bar to order a round and start thinking about our lunch. But first how about two of the best cocktails? I ordered the smoky Mezcal Margarita and Sandra tried the Cilantro Gin and Tonic.
Soon after we were greeted by the chef who prepared an amazing colorful first course of raw, pickled and braised vegetable platter. Even the flowers that lend vivid contrast to the dish are edible. The sauces and flavors were intense and the portion generous. The chef brought us another signature vegetarian plate this round being a couscous hummus platter with the freshest greens. We loved the lunch and plan another return for dinner when they feature local singer and songwriters.
They have recently added several high quality retail shops, gifts, colorful bags, resort fashion, beautiful jewelry store, body shop and coffee cafe.
