Rancho Lomitas Native Plant Nursery

You never know what you may see as you walk through the brush at Rancho Lomitas. Sometimes it is something rare, like indigo snakes breeding. Other times it is a tiny wonder, such as velvet mites coming out after a summer rain. Benito and Toni have always sought to provide opportunities for others to come to Rancho Lomitas to experience what the native brush of Starr County has to offer. Towards that end, we have six one-bedroom vacation rentals and one two-bedroom vacation rental which we call Las Casitas. Although we will be adding bits and pieces over the years, the casitas are comfortably furnished including fully stocked kitchens. All you have to bring is your favorite food and drink! The casitas are perfect for nature photographers, Winter Texans, people visiting Starr County on temporary job assignments, hunters who are looking for a little more comfort than the deer lease might provide, and people who just want to get out in the brush.

CD&J Mini Ranch

CD&J Mini Ranch is a 35-acre farm and ranch in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. We became Certified Naturally Grown and started thinking about and implementing ways to treat our land better.  We raise and sell beef, pork, chickens, eggs, and seasonal vegetables.  We are on a lake that normally has a lot of fish, but due to the extreme drought we have experienced, the lake is sometimes dry, but we still have excellent bird watching. It is the first time that our lake has dried up and it is definitely due to our extra hot and dry years.  
We have a quiet place for you to rest and enjoy the sounds of our animals.  Our camping spots are not close together like a regular campground, but you will be able to see and possible hear your neighbors when outside.  We have picnic tables under shade trees and an available flushing toilet with sinks for those in smaller campers. No tents allowed at this time.

We really love what we do here at our mini ranch and hope you will too.
