CErasee FARM
Liberty City’s First Urban Farm
What started on 6,000 sq. ft. of unused City land in Liberty City (2013), Cerasee Farm has grown into 3 City lots (⅓ acre) of organic, pesticide-free urban farming. Through workshops, hands-on activities, and education, we connect agriculture, aquaculture, and wellness to promote healthier communities and better preventive care.

Cerasee Farm is founded on community-based work concepts where local knowledge and engagement guides everything we strive to do. It is an ongoing strategy where everyone is a leader and contributes to the work on site. We empower members of our community with the understanding that that everyone is capable of producing valid and useful knowledge.
While gates may exist, Cerasee Farm has no doors or blockages to access as it is a community. Here there is fellowship! There is no outreach because there is no one outside to reach. Cerasee Farm is not simply a space but the invention of a lived place, a new beginning, a small break from the rigors of everyday life, a break from the past. It is a place of nature and nurture! A place where tropical storms teach us to live in the moment and see the possibilities rather than become slaves to them.
What we encourage entrants in this community to see is not the physical space (12,000 sq.ft. of City of a Miami lots) but the prospect for new narratives to be lived and written with a foundation based in agriculture and invention.
In Cerasee Farm, UGW has created a new space of belonging, a more embodied stewardship. There exists a responsibility not only for but also ownership of a community. This community is not a possession but a living domain that is gathered together as a communal existence, a meaningful life in solidarity with others and nature.

Farmer Connective Systems
In order to reach the goal of increasing the farmer population by 600%, it will take individual and collective involvement to become more literate in agriculture and develop the actual gardening/farming skills to put the intention to use.
