Certified-organic vegetable, fruit, and egg farm employing people with disabilities through a CSA and à la carte shop.
Empower Farms is a certified-organic vegetable and fruit farm founded in 2014 with a mission to create a working farm that also serves as a sanctuary for people with disabilities. The farm grows vegetables, fruit, and crops such as turmeric; operates a plant nursery; and keeps a flock of egg-laying chickens. It employs people with disabilities, referred to as Teammates, across all stages of planting, harvesting, and packaging. Customers can access the farm's produce through a seasonal CSA program offering weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly delivery boxes, as well as an à la carte online store. The vegetable season in South Florida runs from November through May, though the farm's diverse crops and fruit trees allow it to produce food year-round. Learn more on their About Page.
Empower Farms has held certified-organic status since February 2020, though it has used organic and eco-friendly practices since the farm began in 2014. Produce is grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. The farm operates according to permaculture principles, emphasizing the harmonious integration of landscape and productive growing systems. Chickens are free-range and help with composting, while goats assist with weed management. The farm also dedicates portions of its land to reforestation and the protection of native plants and trees, including the South Dade Slash Pine.
