HistoryMiami Museum’s CultureFest 305 is going virtual! We invite you to celebrate what makes Miami, Miami and enjoy online performances, workshops, and demonstrations with some of the city’s finest traditional artists, dancers, and musicians. LNB Grovestand and Edible South Florida bring you this truly unique virtual farm-to-table experience. Tour the LNB Groves second generation family farm with Marc, Adena, and Levi Ellenby as they discuss the variety of tropical fruits and plants they grow, such as sapodilla, mamey sapote, roselle, and starfruit. Watch as turmeric is dug from the ground and jackfruit is sliced open to create LNB Grovestand’s signature products of turmeric tonic and the colorful rainbow smoothie.
