About This Event

Join us for Vizcaya Village Agriculture Nights, where food becomes a doorway to culture, creativity, and connection. Through meaningful conversations, hands-on activities, and shared experiences, participants gather with growers, artists, food entrepreneurs, and community leaders to explore the people and stories nourishing South Florida.

Local Food Resiliency, is presented in partnership with Pana Social and brings together food workers, growers, local vendors, community leaders, and neighbors for an evening of meaningful conversation, connection, and collective visioning.

As our region faces questions about food access, climate resilience, local production, and community wellbeing, how can we work together to build a stronger and more connected food system?

Through guided discussions and creative activities, participants will explore how local agriculture, food entrepreneurship, and community partnerships can help create a more resilient future for Miami.

Whether you're a farmer, food entrepreneur, community advocate, educator, student, or simply curious about where your food comes from, this gathering offers a space to learn, share ideas, and connect with others invested in the future of local food.
