The Alliance between Flora Farms, the Beachfront Flats, and El Encanto De La Laguna
Flora Farms has formed an alliance with the Beachfront Flats, allowing for co-owners of each property to enjoy special privileges at the other property. Flora Farms has no ownership or operational interest in the Beachfront Flats or El Encanto De La Laguna, nor do the Beachfront Flats or El Encanto De La Laguna have any ownership or operational interest in Flora Farms —these properties are completely separate entities with an alliance to share experiences among their property owners.

Attention Co-Owners (or fractional real estate at Flora Farms):
It has been brought to Flora's attention that some of you have private vehicles located in Cabo and/or at Flora Farms which you allow other co-owners to rent. What you do with your vehicles is your business, however, Flora needs to notify you with regards to some important policies regarding these vehicles:
1. None of these vehicles are owned nor operated by Flora Farms. Flora Farms does not provide any rental car services. We are more than happy to refer you to rental car companies.
2. Renting a personally-owned vehicle, privately, is against the law in Baja California Sur. Rental cars must have an official state rental-car license plate. If the authorities learn that a private car has in fact been rented by the person driving it, the vehicle can be immediately impounded. Beware: Even if you rent a car to a person and tell them "if anyone asks, you are only borrowing this car", that doesn't mean they will. If the people you rented your car to are pulled over or involved in an accident, the truth often comes out when the driver is being questioned by authorities.
3. Due to legal, fiscal, and insurance liability reasons, all Flora Farms employees are forbidden and are not permitted to assist with the managing and/or maintenance of any private vehicles owned by any Flora real estate co-owner. There are storage companies located by the airport where some co-owners keep their vehicles parked when they are not in Cabo. Some of those companies have vehicle maintenance services available also.
4. Due to legal, fiscal, and insurance liability reasons, privately owned vehicles are not permitted to be parked on Flora Farms property except for when the vehicle is being used by a co-owner who is staying on site.
5. Flora Farms is absolved from any and all liability related but not limited to any issues, damages, and/or injuries caused by the use of any vehicles referred to in this announcement.
Sincerely,
Legal Department

Dear Cottage Owner,
As we finish new Culinary Cottages and more Owners are staying on the Farm, we see it is time for us to start clarifying some of the specific arrangements. To this point we have preferred to grow the farm into a community without overly defining the experience for each of you. For us it was very important that Flora become its own place and remain distinct from a resort or a typical community. It makes us very happy to see you pick from fruit trees, harvest vegetables from field rows and even adopt a dog for a for a bit if you like. But things happen, issues arise and it becomes clear that we will all be better off if we clarify a few policies.
Attached you will find clarification for the Field Kitchen Restaurant, Farm Grocery and the Common Areas. Since we conceived of the Culinary Cottages these arrangements have always been as such but in the attached they are clarified for the avoidance of doubt.
Spring is already upon us on the Farm, with the magnificent sunlight bringing the Mango's into a riot of bloom. Its not every year that the Mango's bloom this profusely, but the force of Odile certainly kindled this living response. We too are back stronger than ever and look forward to seeing you on the Farm.
Saludos,
—Gloria and Patrick Greene
