Urban Oasis Project is a Florida-based non-profit organization that has been at the forefront of growing the local food movement in Miami-Dade County since 2008. Their mission is to make fresh, local food accessible to all, regardless of means, race, gender, or ability. Through their efforts, they aggregate produce from small and large farms, curate farmers markets with a focus on local producers and artisans, double the value of SNAP dollars at markets, and provide sliding scale basis gardens and free food boxes through their Project Maracuya.
With a commitment to inclusivity and sustainability, Urban Oasis Project believes that good, clean, and healthy food should be available to everyone. They support local farms by purchasing their produce and have also initiated G.I.V.E. Gardens, which supplement the diets of low-income families with fresh vegetables and herbs while promoting gardening exercise and fresh air. As a volunteer-based organization, Urban Oasis Project welcomes individuals from all backgrounds who share their vision of a thriving and diverse local food movement in Miami-Dade County.
