                   Considerations for Country Life...in Mexico

It's definitely true that most folks in Mexico, as in most countries really, will do all they can to help
you regardless of your language proficiency as long as they perceive that you are trying and have at
least some minimal  interest (respect for?) in their culture. Of course, it's one thing to stumble
through a lunch menu  or directions to the nearest cyber-cafe or bank. It may be quite another to
come here planning to do business or buy and run a farm or ranch or even remodel a house in the
City without a decent to extensive language AND cultural experience under your belt. The
alternative is to get the help you need from reliable sources who can support your efforts until you
can do so on your own.

?Se habla Espanol?  (Do you speak Spanish?) Spanish and Maya are the two dominant languages
here. Unlike Merida or Cancun, practically no one speaks English here...except on Rancho Santa
Cruz, of course! One of the advantages of being neighbors with us either immediately next door or
even in the local vicinity is that we can help get you started and even help you manage whatever
operation or lifestyle you choose to pursue. From simply translating for you to setting you up with
the appropriate contractors, laborers, agriculturalists, technicians, engineers and others, we can help
you develop the life you want but which might take you many more years ...and dollars...to achieve
on your own, whether you speak "fluently", your Spanish is rusty, a "work in progress", or you are
just starting with the basics.

Where ever you are with your Spanish, you will definitely and ultimately, over time, need it to
succeed here or almost anywhere else in Latin America, not only to survive, but to also open cultural,
experiential, and even economic doors that will otherwise simply not be available to you without the
language and cultural savy that comes with it over time. Are you up for that? Can you be patient
enough with yourself to be satisfied with the "baby steps" we all started out with and, even after
years, still return to from time to time?

What does this have to do with the price of land? A lot! No matter the cost of the land or even the
money you are prepared to invest in it, what it all boils down to is goals or "dreams" or, at least at
some level, a hope for a better or different life. Hard to put a price on a dream but we feel that side
of your "cost benefit analysis" must include these intangibles if you are to succeed. And your success
is our success. Even at the risk of "raining on your proverbial parade", we will always try to give you
all of the info you need to make an informed and intelligent decision. We try to provide that
perspective, based upon our own experiences including successes and especially our failures and
setbacks.

Speaking of costs and benefits, we are inherently friendly and helpful, generous even, people. We
will gladly help almost anyone, even complete strangers, whenever possible. That said, we of course
have our own goals and expenses  and therefore even our friends and potential neighbors need to
understand that we will necessarily need to charge something for much, if not all, of our time and
assistance and labor on their behalf. We will always be fair and up front. We will always give
options on how to save money and time. We will always try and share expenses so that they turn out
lower for all concerned. We will do our best to eliminate unwelcome surprises. And we will look for
ways to share in profit making strategies and projects so that everyone wins.  

We are about sustainable resource and land use. It works the same way in business and friendships:
You have to put back or into at least as much as you take out or profit from or the proverbial as well
as literal well runs dry. Your success is our success. Period.

One last note: We are prepared to offer residents of Rancho Sombra recreational access to 95% of the
miles of trails and picnic areas we are planning for Maya Neems Farms. We will also offer our
Rancho Sombra neighbors access to and discounts on all of our planned for organic products
produced by the plantation.
