		<description><![CDATA[   It is this extra bit that has me stymied.  We don't really make any money doing this cactus business. All of our money goes to shipping, governmental fees of several thousand dollars yearly in order to maintain our licenses, permits, and associated fees and overhead expenses.  Knowing that this trip will lead us into negative financial territory makes me reluctant to want to go.  Knowing that due to these regulations, we must take  a sample of our water and have it analyzed monthly at unknown costs.... I have for the first time in these many years had serious thoughts to stop all production, stop the business, and plow the cactus into the ground, and have just a family garden in the [...]]]></description>

I am surrounded by the awesome beauty of these coastal hills, the verdant green, rolling on in wave after wave of velvet-lining over geologic formations squeezed and folded by seismic forces.
