Empower Farms at a Glance

Farmer: Nicolas Miller
Where they’re located: Florida City
Website: Empower Farms @empowerfarms
What they grow: Assorted vegetables, assorted fruit, eggs, plants, turmeric, ginger   
Where they sell: Their CSA


This 10-acre property near Robert Is Here in the Redland has it all: lush raised beds of produce, a fruit forest of papayas, bananas and other tropical fruits, stands of native pines, sea grape and Fakahatchee grass, chickens and a couple of goats. The harvest of all this bounty goes into a year-round CSA program, along with wholesale and retail sales during the growing season.
 
Growing food is not the primary goal of Empower Farms, says director Nicolas Miller. Their mission is to host people with special needs – Alzheimer’s, PTSD and other disabilities – equipping them to become teammates in all the tasks on a farm: planting seeds, filling pots with soil, pulling weeds, harvesting, painting signs, even making sugarcane juice. Over the last four years, Empower Farms has hosted 1,775 people with disabilities, many of whom happily return. “They can’t wait to come back,” Miller says. “We’re proud of ourselves when we send them home dirty and sweaty.”

In addition to field trips with groups, Empower Farms offers family days for one adult with special needs and one family member. Programs are free, but participants must provide transportation. Programs are designed for 18+ participants with intellectual, emotional and/or physical impairments.

What they believe in: “Our vision is to run a sustainable farm that can feed our family and provide fresh healthy food to the community. In meeting our goals toward sustainability, we have moved away from the use of commercial fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. We are also setting up relationships with companies to reduce food waste that can be consumed by our animals rather than going to the trash. Our model is not fixed but changing as we try to serve the needs of the community as well as reduce out ecological impact on the environment.

Criswell Farm and Market at a Glance

Farmers: Kevin Quigley and Judy Ozer
Where they’re located: Downtown Fort Lauderdale
Website: Criswell Farm and Market
What they grow: Greens, herbs, kale, mulberries, tropical fruits, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, tropical spinach, grown in grow bags
Where they sell: At their farmstand
CSA: No


There’s precious little farmland left even in the western reaches of Broward County, so it’s especially surprising to come across this not-quite-an-acre urban farm in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale, footsteps from Broward Boulevard and within earshot of the Brightline/Virgin Trains station. Criswell Farm & Market was started by Kevin Quigley, a Wall Street IT guy who fled Manhattan and learned to farm. Their employees include Judy Ozer. Volunteers help plant, weed and harvest. The farm is lush and well-tended – even in late spring, there were tomatoes still on the vines. Plans are underway to fix up a food truck onsite to serve as a kitchen for smoothies and other farm-to-table fare.

Their philosophy  Kevin: I was told I could make a ton of money! What I found was passion and community – money’s not important. I’m happy! I’ve never enjoyed my work more. Judy: When we grow, we get so excited. It’s so much fun, like having kids – it gives you a happy feeling.

What they grow  Produce and tropical fruits, grown organically in grow bags, including herbs, kale, mulberries, cranberry hibiscus, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, Asian greens, tropical spinach. Fruit trees include mango and bananas. Their market also sells produce from other South Florida farms, and they carry raw honey, preserves, eggs, baked goods, soaps and dog biscuits, all made locally. Big plus: Some of the produce is harvested on the spot for customers so it’s perfectly fresh and unwilted.

What’s next?  Holding classes in growing produce, plus hosting special events, like dinners or parties.

More info Criswell Farm & Market is located at 24 NW 6 Ave., northwest of the Habitat ReStore building. Open year-round Thur.-Sun. 9-4pm.

OPEN: Year-round
U-PICK: Strawberries, tomatoes, kale, squash in growing season.
THE STORY: Broward and North Miami-Dade residents no longer have to drive to Homestead to pick their own produce, thanks to this property on the border of Davie and Sunrise. Robert Hoover, who has grown tropical fruits on the property for the past 20 years, decided to partner with family members to create a u-pick and farm event space for birthday parties and other events. There’s a produce stand, farm animals, shakes and juice for sale, plus regular artisan markets, bonfires, pumpkin patches and seasonal festivals. They hope to add sunflowers and other cut flowers to the property. “We’re trying to create a family atmosphere here,” says Hoover, and so far the response has been positive. “The community has embraced us.”
