| Meet Our Producers!
The products that we use in our restaurant
come from almost every zone of San Miguel de Allende. It is important
to give jobs to the local farmers and use the product of the zone,
because this guarantees the quality and freshness of the products.
When the vegetables travel thru thousands of miles, they lose
their organic quality, for this reason choose to work with the
ranchos of our zone.
This is a photographic gallery to present you to our producers,
their ranches, their work, their animals.
