Tonight is the last night that Tinez Farms in Miami hosts its annual Christmas nights. The goal of founders Jessica and Ruben Martinez was to take care of their family while simultaneously providing people with organically grown goods. There are many activities that families can enjoy at the farm, ranging from making friends with the barnyard animals to a garden maze to writing letters and taking photos with Santa.
“It’s a happy feeling. I love Christmas,” says Briana Lopez, a crew member who works on the farm.
With so much to do, there’s something for everyone.
“You get to bring your kids closer to nature and truly experience what it is to be one with it,” says Lorena Lugo, a participant who brought her children to take part in the event.
The farm sold merchandise such as tote bags and hats. They also sold fresh plants, fruits, vegetables and honey.
The address is 16405 SW 177th Ave. The cost of entry online is $12 for children and $17 for adults. At the door, it’s $15 and $19
