Miami’s Agricultural Areas

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Endless Rows of Green

Wondering where you could shoot pictures related to farm work, agriculture, and livestock in great weather at just about any time throughout the year? Look no further than Miami’s agricultural areas!

Southwest Miami-Dade County hosts a thriving agricultural community. During the proper season, you can find fresh strawberries, tomatoes, avocados and many other fruit and vegetables being grown in south Florida. With a little time before heading home, I stopped to take some pictures of things and places that many people don’t get to see or enjoy down here.  Most Miami visitors do not know that driving west is not only to get to the Everglades, but it can afford visitors the opportunity to take some incredible pictures.

Horses, birds, plants, and other animals are plentiful in this area. In fact, I am planning on heading back out there soon to find the wild peacocks that I saw. Unfortunately, they were spooked off and I was unable to capture any of them with my camera. Most people probably didn’t think of farm or agriculture pictures when mentioning Miami, but now you can keep this in mind if you are contemplating a certain theme for a photo series. Most areas are accessible via paved and unpaved roadways which provide a great backdrop to frame your shots.
