| Organization Description |
| FWAF was instrumental in the development of Everglades Village, a farmworker housing community, and opened and operated an ethnic food store for the community. Prior to Hurricane Andrew, the main crops in the Homestead area were vegetables and citrus. In the aftermath of the hurricane, these crops were re-established, but the community has seen increasing urbanization encroaching on the agricultural landscape, as growth has swept in from Miami to the south. Some of the vegetable fields and citrus groves have since been converted to ornamental plant nurseries that supply the ever-growing demand for landscape and indoor foliage plants. Programs in the Homestead office include: -Pesticide Safety and Environmental Health -Civic Engagement and Civic Participation -Services – Assistance with service programs and immigration applications and referrals -The Women’s Arts and Crafts Project -La Farmacia Popular – the People’s Pharmacy -Campesinos’ Gardens |
