Nicoya Farm
Farmer
Nicoya Farm is a family fruit and vegetable farm, managed by Aviva Asher and Daniel Robleto on 2.5 acres of land in Southeast Gainesville. They work to build healthy soil and use intensive, regenerative farming practices to grow nutritious crops on their small market farm. They each began their farming journey in the early 2000’s and have extensive experience on urban and rural farms throughout the US and in Nicaragua. In 2015 they joined forces to begin Nicoya Farm on leased land in South Florida and recently transitioned the farm to collectively owned land in SE Gainesville. The farmers aim to help create and sustain a viable and vibrant local food system, one that strengthens community ties, and breaks down barriers to healthy food. Nicoya Farm is committed to community food sovereignty, sustainable agriculture and cultural preservation of food and farming practices.
