Embracing Nature's Classroom: A Journey into the Heart of Agroforestry In the heart of our bustling city lies a hidden gem—a five-acre agroforestry site seamlessly integrated with a wildlife refuge, offering a sanctuary for both humans and nature. This unique haven challenges traditional farming norms, embracing permaculture principles and providing a holistic education on sustainable living. The Agroforestry Oasis: This agroforestry site thrives as a harmonious blend of natural elements. The farm, rich with diverse flora, serves as a testament to the possibility of cultivating food in harmony with nature. With a natural pond reflecting the sky and a cypress forest providing shade, the site is a living example of how agricultural practices can coexist with the environment. Wildlife Refuge: Surrounded by a city environment, the wildlife refuge within the agroforestry site stands as a testament to the resilience of nature amidst urbanization. Birds, insects, and small mammals find solace in this haven, creating a unique urban wildlife ecosystem. The refuge highlights the importance of preserving green spaces within cities for biodiversity and ecological balance. Permaculture Education: Classes on permaculture gardening and natural cooking form the core of the educational experience offered on the site. Participants learn not just about cultivation but also about the interconnectedness of ecosystems. These classes empower individuals to apply permaculture principles in their own lives, fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment. Campfire Gatherings: At the heart of the agroforestry site lies a community space, where campfires flicker at individual camping sites and merge into a grand communal fire. This space fosters a sense of community, encouraging shared experiences and conversations under the open sky. It exemplifies the essence of coming together to appreciate and learn from nature. Nature's Unfiltered Beauty: Unlike manicured gardens, this facility proudly stands in its natural state. The untamed beauty of the landscape contributes to the existence of a diverse array of wildlife. Visitors are invited to witness nature as it is, fostering a deep appreciation for the raw, unfiltered beauty that often goes unnoticed in our modern, structured world. Invitation to Experience: This isn't just a description; it's an invitation. Come, explore, and experience the magic of this agroforestry site for yourself. Feel the connection between nature and sustainable living, learn about permaculture, and revel in the simplicity of a campfire under the stars. Witness the beauty that emerges when humans and nature coexist harmoniously. In this city oasis, the agroforestry site isn't just a piece of land; it's a living, breathing classroom where the lessons are taught by the wind in the trees, the rustling of leaves, and the vibrant life that thrives in every corner. It's time to appreciate nature and learn about how it works, not just as observers but as active participants in the dance of life.

The island is renowned for its excellent fishing and snorkeling opportunities in the crystal-clear waters, making it a favorite destination for water sports enthusiasts. With both guarded and unguarded swimming beaches, Peanut Island Park welcomes visitors of all ages to bask in the warm Florida sun.

This was my first time using this app, so I didn’t know what to expect… and let me say that it far exceeded my expectations! Vito the owner couldn’t be more friendly and accommodating! I had an issue that was a million percent my fault… I cut the corner too tight coming in and got stuck in the ditch. If this happens to you, just call Priority Towing and they’ll come get you out the way you went in!!! Vito was so helpful throughout that whole thing! The property is beautiful and peaceful. If you have dogs, there is a very well-kept backyard, but you can also walk them on the sidewalk of the main road. Would most definitely recommend this very cool and hip camp!

The location is ideal—tucked away in a quiet area that allows you to relax, yet conveniently close to everything. It's just a short drive to the beach, and there are plenty of great restaurants, shops, and attractions nearby, making it easy to explore the area. The host, Chris, was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. He also provided some great local recommendations that really enhanced our trip. Additionally, the RV offered a comfortable space, equipped with all the essentials needed for the stay.

Mr. G’s permaculture farm was so lovely and peaceful. Waking up slowly to the sound of the birds and seeing the light come through the trees was so lovely. Mr. G was so kind and understanding. He made me feel so safe and comfortable, and I would have loved to stay longer. Not a far drive from the beach and a really cool experience. Thanks again Mr. g!

It is like a little Eden in the midst of the city! We were amazed by the dense native plant diversity, small pond, ducks & chickens, all in these 5 acres! Plus all of the things that the owners have been planting. It is rustic & primitive. We parked and then walked a path like a 10th of a mile to the owners house and then he guided us to the site. Glad we had our headlamps ready in the dark! I purchased a bundle of firewood on the app, but then needed to follow the owner around to get a wheelbarrow, load it up with wood that would need to be cut in half. He provided a handsaw. It’s do it yourself that way! George was very accommodating. I was impressed that he was up walking around with us at 10 at night. He loves to talk about all of the things that he’s planted and the way he has worked to leave it in the natural state. He is another breed, a rare naturalist and we need more like him. I slept great, but a drawback for my buddies was the sound of a nearby highway. I appreciated all the sounds of critters and birds surrounding us.

I had a wonderful few nights on Erica's land. I felt safe and the location was perfect to explore so many areas between the Keys, Everglades, Biscayne, and Big Cypress NP. I even saw some manatees in the nearby canel leading to Biscayne! I would definitely recommend and stay here again. As other stated it does get buggy at night but it's FL so I wouldn't expect anything less. There is also a Planet Fitness, along with many shops and restaurants nearby but once your on the property you wouldn't know it with how peaceful it was.

This spot was perfection. A true "get away" but the safety of being very close to the "regular world" very low key, beautiful spot with great views and truly felt alone being the only people for I assume miles. We will be staying here again when we visit Florida later this year even going to stay longer as this is a wonderful home base for the surrounding areas attractions

My wife, cat and I stayed at Vito's for 6 weeks! while working remotely and exploring the area. We lived out of our travel trailer in Vito's larger RV site and shared the property with the occasional neighbor Hipcamper. This is a great spot for a longer-term stay! Mind you, while we had 50 amp power, we shared the water supply (hose was long enough to reach our trailer), and did not have a sewage hookup. Vito kinda recommended a local pump out service for our tanks. We only ended up using them a couple of times as we took the camper down to the keys for a long weekend amidst our stay. The property is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. A perfect place to stay, away from the city, but close enough to all the conveniences and easy to take day trips or weekend adventures to beaches like Jupiter, Palm Beach, Miami and even the keys. Vito was an excellent host. Thank you so much!

Good place…. Not many bugs. NASCAR track is close. But, it isn’t that bothersome the noise. Safe and secure. Plenty of firewood. But, I’d suggest bringing big pieces for when the fire is lit. Walmart is close. 8 out of 10. Would reserve and camp again.
