Little River

Little River is a neighborhood well-known to older Miami natives, and has recently entered the radar of younger generations. One of Miami's oldest neighborhoods, Little River was established as an agricultural community. A natural evolution led to its development into one of Miami's most vibrant commercial, entertainment, and residential areas. Speak to those who grew up in Miami from the 1920's-1960's, and they'll fondly recall hamburgers and birch beer from Royal Castle, go-carting behind St. Mary's Cathedral, and movies at the Rosetta Theater. Having fallen into a decline after the development of Interstate 95 and the increased popularity of the shopping mall, this culturally diverse neighborhood, along with those that surround it (Little Haiti, West Little River, and the historic residential neighborhoods of El Portal and Palm Grove) is now experiencing another evolution - this time led by creative entrepreneurs.

Muriel Olivares and Tiffany Noé are arguably the grand dames of urban agriculture in Miami. The duo operate a garden, farm, and nursery (the latter of which is located in Little River), as well as create and tend to private and restaurant gardens throughout Miami. The sites are open by appointment only, with the exception of programs and seasonal seedling sales held at the nursery (a must-attend for anyone attempting their own garden in the unique agricultural climate of South Florida.) For those wishing to sample Little River Cooperative's 40 varieties of organically-grown vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers year-round, a CSA program is offered. You can also find the duo at the Upper East Side Farmer's Market every Saturday selling their own fare, as well as Zak The Baker bread, pasture-raised eggs, and plants. Curious about the fruit trees in your (or your neighbor's) back yard? Pick up a copy of "Forager", co-authored by Noé and published by Miami's own Jai Alai Books.
