Deer guy
Gonzalez of Rancho San Diego on Km. 29 north of Todos Santos. Native to Baja California Sur, Jesus has started a unique project that will capture the imaginations and palletes of evryone. There off a dirt road between Todos santos and the crossroad to Meliton Albanez, is a 30 hectare ranch with a current herd of 67 (and growing) deer. Yes, deer…and a few Bambiis, as well!
Jesus, is obviously a forward thinking man. His intentions are multi-purpose and his resolve and planning, very apparent. He states that within 2 years, his herd will grow to over two hundred head, at which time, he plans to offer fresh venison meat to local restaurants, as well as to supply his own restaurant which he intends to open in Todos Santos. The soft deer hides he plans to be sold to local leather crafters.
Faces of Baja
I come from a long line of male BBQ aficionados. Dad used to BBQ prime rib every Sunday, as well as dozens of other treats. And as for the next generation, my brother took the art to enormous new heights with 5 BBQ’s lining his patio, 2 parillas (grills), a smoker and a deep fryer. He BBQ’s every weekend and several nights a week and is quite famous among his circle for his BBQ’ing feats. And oh my goodness, what delights! Me? No, I was a complete and utter failure at the craft. I would have starved to death if I had to outdoor cook to live! As a result, my BBQ collected dust for years. I would always say to my bro’ that BBQ’ing is a male gene…until now.
