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.
Squad goals, indeed.
Earth'n Us farm was established by Ray Chasser in 1977 as a place for he and his family to live close to the earth. Four decades later, the two acre farm not only still exists, but is thriving. Part hippie commune, part farm featuring gardens and animals, Earth 'n Us is open to the public, and encourages visitors on Sundays. Additionally, ENUF hosts "Love & Vegetables" (a vegan pop-up cafe) and drum circles to celebrate and honor the full moon. For those wanting an even more personal experience, the farm isn't totally cut off from the market economy - you can rent one of several of their spaces by the night via Air BnB.
