Inland from the Sea of Cortez adjacent to the San Jose Estuary in Los Cabos is the 17-acre organic farm of Huerta Los Tamarindos. Having obtained the coveted organic certification from both the Primus Labs and the United States Department of Agriculture, the farm has since 2003 been dedicated to cultivating organic produce to supply many of the top restaurants in Los Cabos. The farm produces numerous fresh products including a variety of green vegetables and herbs, eggplant, leeks, onions, tomatoes, beets and carrots.

Any person trying to grow strawberries or tomatoes in their own gardens or on their terrace will understand how difficult organic agriculture can be. Great care has been taken to landscape and rotate harvests at the Huerta Los Tamarindos. This helps to protect the soil quality and maximize production of their delectable produce. Growing healthy plants without using any synthetic pesticides or fertilizers is the hardest to achieve.
