The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau is proud to announce the return of Miami-Dade Farmers Month, a countywide celebration of South Dade’s agricultural heritage and the fresh produce that it brings to tables across Florida and beyond. Now in its fourth year, the monthlong celebration runs from November 1-30 and invites residents and visitors to explore the region’s thriving farming community. The full schedule of events and participating farms is available at MiamiFarmersMonth.com.
“Miami-Dade’s farming community is one of our destination’s most unique and greatest treasures,” said David Whitaker, president and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Farmers Month is an invitation to experience the people and places that nourish our community.”
South Dade has become a cornerstone of Florida’s agricultural identity, with approximately 89% of products grown in the county shipped to markets across the United States and Canada.
Throughout November, popular destinations such as The Berry Farm, Knaus Berry Farm, The Little Farm and Pintos Farm offer outdoor fun, homemade treats and family traditions, plus berry picking, hayrides, sustainable farm tours and community events. Other growers, including Radhe Farms, Paradise Farms and Tinez Farms, highlight organic and regenerative practices, demonstrating how Miami’s agricultural community thrives while caring for the land and its people. Additionally, Patch of Heaven Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization, offers visitors the opportunity to experience tropical hammocks, peaceful paths, historic structures and native habitats in a 20-acre nature preserve.
Farmers Month also features special promotions, including buy-one-get-one admission at Fruit and Spice Park, discounted stays at Home2 Suites by Hilton, Wellness Wednesdays at Essensia at The Palms Hotel and Spa and special offers at Flamingo Adventures in Everglades National Park.
“Miami-Dade County is a powerhouse in Florida agriculture, generating over $1 billion in crop value annually on fewer than 70,000 acres,” said Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins. “This extraordinary level of productivity reflects the advantages of a tropical climate and the capacity to cultivate a wide variety of crops year-round. South Dade’s abundant agricultural landscape not only sustains our economy but also offers a unique opportunity for residents and visitors to explore its farms, markets, natural beauty and culture that make our community so special.”
