About the Farm

Background

Located in the heart of urban Miami, the farm has expanded to include a 4-acre row crop farm in West Miami and a 1/4-acre teaching farm at Florida International University Biscayne Bay Campus. Known for its commitment to organic farming, the farm is in pursuit of organic certification and has become a vital source of fresh produce for the local community through its CSA program and wholesale partnerships with area restaurants.

Practices

Emphasizing organic methods, the farm cultivates a variety of vegetables suited to South Florida's Zone 10B. The farm's practices highlight biodiversity and soil health, with a strong focus on organic principles. Additionally, the farm sells compost, contributing to a closed-loop system that enriches the soil and reduces waste.

The Rest

The farm is dedicated to urban farming education, offering workshops, farm tours, and educational visits. It provides valuable learning opportunities to underserved high school students from Miami Dade County, fostering a new generation of urban farmers. The farm's mission is to supply the South Florida community with locally and sustainably grown organic produce.
