LOVE LOCAL: Harpke Family Farm in Dania Beach

This past weekend we were sitting in our booth at Basil Park having breakfast and we couldn't stop admiring these glass vases filled with microgreens. Like to the point that our waiter noticed. We asked where we could buy one and he brought us a business card for Harpke Family Farm. Score.

We immediately commenced stalking them via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. They seem like our kind of peeps - and they are heavily involved with supplying the goods to Basil Park, our new favorite spot in Sunny Isles Beach.

And now they can be your peeps, too. You may enroll in their CSA program or learn more about them in general here. They have a lecture series. They are inspired. And we are really, really glad they are part of the community and not located way out west or south like most of the good local farms.

Oh, and it gets better... They have bees!! They specialize in micro greens and micro herbs!! AND EDIBLE FLOWERS!!!

You can contact them here -and make sure to because we want to show them some major love!!

Namaste!!

Eat to Live & Live to Eat at Basil Park in Sunny Isles

We've been hearing through the yogi grapevine that there's a place in Sunny Isles that will satisfy both hardcore vegans and meat eaters, alike.

We found this hard to believe. After weeks of hint dropping and nudging to the better half of Namaste Miami, we finally made the voyage to Basil Park last night in Sunny Isles.

Our compass is forever now pointed in their direction.

Raw Vegan options = true. Healthy vegetarian options = true. Options for those who crave the flesh and blood of living creatures = true.

True, true, true. When we say go here now, we mean GO HERE NOW THIS PLACE IS FRICKIN' AMAZE-FALAFEL BALLS!!!

Our haul included the sprouted falafel, tuna tiradito, mussels and local fish tacos. Our cups runneth over with Malbac & a white we can't remember the name of... full menu here.
