Support Local Community Access To Fresh Produce: Invitation Homes Restores Garden Beds For The Dania Beach Community May 24, 2024 Share Today, People’s Access To Community Horticulture (the PATCH), a project spearheaded by the Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), will receive a donation from Invitation Homes, the nation’s premier single-family home leasing and management company. The donation will fund 48 new raised beds and an additional row of concrete blocks to improve the existing 18 beds in the PATCH. The donation will be accepted on behalf of the PATCH by Bianca Bacarossi, Lead Farm Coordinator; Jaime Castoro, Executive Director of The Fruitful Field; K. Michael Chen, Executive Director of the CRA, and the CRA Board. The PATCH is proud to be the largest community garden in Broward County and is an important source of affordable, accessible, and sustainable fresh and locally grown produce for Dania Beach residents. After a flash flood in April 2023, the PATCH gardens were destroyed, leaving the community without a vital source of produce. Invitation Homes’ donation will provide the infrastructure needed to restore PATCH as a fresh food grower. “The Dania Beach CRA and our market/community garden ‘The PATCH’ (Peoples Access to Community Horticulture) are deeply grateful for the generous contribution from Invitation Homes and their commitment to our city. This will have an immediate impact, and we look forward to a long-lasting partnership dedicated toward Dania Beach’s thriving community,” said Mayor A. J. Ryan IV of Dania Beach. The PATCH values community engagement that empowers accessible, holistic growth. All PATCH non-GMO, organic produce is provided at substantially lower prices than supermarkets with a 50% discount for EBT/SNAP participants, and surplus produce is donated to low-income and assisted care institutions. The PATCH also serves as a gathering place for families and school groups to teach gardening skills and the importance of fresh vegetables. Across the county, the PATCH conducts mobile outreach, including cooking demonstrations, in collaboration with YMCAs, Parks and Recreation departments, and other cities’ CRAs. “Invitation Homes is thrilled to support the PATCH and its mission to serve the greater Dania Beach community,” said Randy Gray, Senior Vice President of Southeast Field Operations. “This donation will help provide fresh and accessible produce to the community and ensure that residents can continue to garden, spend time outdoors, and connect with one another.” The project will be completed over the summer and will maintain the garden at its current location. The donation will also cover the cost of an expanded irrigation system, limestone drain bed, and compost for planters. The PATCH Garden The objectives of the PATCH are to provide fresh and healthy food options and to serve as a family social center in the community. As part of its mandate to remove blighted conditions associated with the city, The Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency transformed a vacant lot into what is now called People’s Access To Community Horticulture (PATCH). The PATCH provides a source of affordable, accessible, and sustainably fresh, locally grown produce to economically challenged neighborhoods across Broward County. Invitation Homes Invitation Homes, an S&P 500 company, is the nation's premier single-family home leasing and management company, meeting changing lifestyle demands by providing access to high-quality, updated homes with valued features such as close proximity to jobs and access to good schools.

A Nutraceutical Nirvana: How Nature Heals Quicker And Better Than Traditional Drugs South Florida Sun Times Mar 13, 2025 Even while growing up in the 1950’s, Dr. Peter Amato understood the healing power of natural medicine, having watched his father who suffered from Chronic Heart Fatigue add decades to his life by eating healthy, taking supplements and fasting with juices. Now, a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine and Founder of Inner Harmony Wellness Centers, Dr. Amato is finally realizing the fruits of his labor as the nutraceutical industry topped $418.2 Billion last year alone and is projected to be a $571.3 Billion business by 2029. He has seen firsthand how natural remedies can cure all types of modern-day diseases faster, more effectively and affordably than traditional synthetic medications, and discusses the top five diseases that nutraceuticals treat for March National Nutrition Month. “Although nutraceuticals have been around for 36 years, the timing has never been better for these natural compounds to skyrocket,” said Peter Amato, Ph.D., DNM, Founder of Inner Harmony Wellness Centers. “This is due to the growing demand for functional foods and dietary supplements to remediate specific diseases, coupled with rising healthcare costs and a population that is living longer. Simply stated, consumers are increasingly turning to nutraceuticals as a powerful way to enhance their overall mental and physical well-being throughout their entire aging process." Dr. Amato explains that nutraceuticals, a hybrid of “nutrition” and “pharmaceutics,” are bioactive compounds derived from natural foods and plants whose ingredients work synergistically to support specific health needs. As such, they have more medicinal appeal, offering a broad range of health benefits including disease prevention and enhanced performance. They can include fortified foods, dietary supplements, herbal products, and functional beverages and come in liquid, powder, gummy or capsule form. “Nutraceuticals provide a natural way to both prevent and remediate chronic diseases,” adds Dr. Amato. “Unlike pharmaceuticals that oftentimes only alleviate the symptoms of sickness, nutraceuticals offer preventive benefits without the side effects associated with synthetic drugs and actually resolve the problem at the cellular root level.” Dr. Amato explains that in his 29 years of practicing functional medicine, he has witnessed patients recover from such debilitating health conditions as allergies, Alzheimer’s Disease, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Obesity, Immune Disorders, Chronic Inflammation and Parkinson’s Disease among many others, by incorporating natural foods, minerals and supplements into their diet. He offers the following list of natural alternatives to the top five diseases: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) - includes Heart Attack, Peripheral Vascular Diseases, Stroke, Hypertension and Heart Failure. Studies indicate that a low intake of vegetables and fruits is associated with a high mortality in CVD. Thus, nutraceuticals in the form of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, dietary fibers and omega‑3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are recommended for prevention and treatment of this condition. Polyphenols and flavonoids found in onions, endives, broccoli, cauliflower, grapefruits, apples, cherries, pomegranates, berries and black grapes, alter cellular metabolism, which helps to cure CVD. Cancer - has emerged as a major public health problem in most developing countries, but a healthy diet and lifestyle can help prevent it. Carotenoids are a group of phytochemicals responsible for different colors of foods that have antioxidant activities and are effective on cancer prevention. Lycopene is one of the major carotenoids and is found exclusively in tomatoes, guava, pink grapefruit, watermelon and papaya. Similarly, plants rich in daidzein, biochanin, isoflavones and genistein, also inhibit prostate cancer cell growth. Finally, beta-carotene found in yellow, orange, and green leafy vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes, lettuce, oranges, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cantaloupe, carrots, spinach, and winter squash also has anticancer activity. Diabetes - In recent years, a wide range of herbal dietary supplements and herbal medicines have scientifically proven to benefit Type 2 Diabetes, the most common form of the disease. Soy isoflavones have been associated with a lower incidence and mortality rate, omega‑3 fatty acids help reduce glucose tolerance and lipoic acid is an antioxidant that can heal diabetic neuropathy. Alzheimer’s Disease - is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by oxidative stress. Nutraceutical antioxidants such as curcumin, lutein, lycopene, turmeric and beta carotene help combat oxidative stress and are found in both foods and supplements to stop the progression of this most popular form of Dementia. Immune System Disorders - Many nutraceuticals help boost immune function. They include extracts from coneflowers, echinacea, astragalus and probiotics. Besides preventing and relieving diseases, Dr. Amato notes that nutraceuticals can also detoxify a person’s body from excessive use and overuse of antibiotic medications and other chemical-based drugs that have accumulated in the liver and kidneys over the years. While nutraceuticals can be found in health stores, pharmacies, supermarkets and online, Dr. Amato cautions that not all nutraceuticals are created equally and encourages consumers to carefully review label ingredients and conduct research on a brand before using it. He recommends using top-quality, transparent companies like Premier Research Labs, which sustainably and carefully sources the best organic ingredients to manufacture them as 100% solvent and filler-free vegan-friendly capsules, while undergoing rigorous testing on each batch. Further, because nutraceuticals are unregulated by an official government agency, Dr. Amato recommends consulting with a Board-Certified natural practitioner to ensure their safety, efficacy and affordability. “As scientific research advances and the political environment changes, nutraceuticals will play an even more significant role in personalized health and wellness,” concludes Dr. Amato. “They are powerful instruments in preventing and improving acute and chronic diseases, thereby promoting optimal health, longevity and quality of life.” About Dr. Peter Amato Dr. Peter Amato is a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine and founder of Inner Harmony Wellness Centers. For nearly 30 years, he has been creating personalized wellness plans for patients of all ages resolving a wide range of chronic conditions and diseases through advanced modalities and targeted nutraceuticals. He is Co-Founder with Andrew Weil, M.D. and past chair of the National Integrative Medicine Council and formed the National Centers for Complementary and Alternative Medicine within the National Institutes of Health in Washington, D.C. Dr. Amato has served as a consultant for the American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). He is a frequent guest lecturer at prestigious academic and healthcare institutions and has authored two books: Soul Silence: The Path of Awakening and The New Medicine: Moving Beyond Our Crisis of Perception, Dr. Amato offers holistic wellness seminars at the rural Inner Harmony Institute for Living helping participants overcome trauma, heal emotionally and physically and recover from addiction.

The Storm of the Century: 30 Years After Hurricane Andrew August 25, 2022 Share "Before Andrew” and “After Andrew” is how many Homestead, Florida residents divide defining moments in their lives – showing the lasting impact Hurricane Andrew had in shaping this community. The storm slammed south of Downtown Miami, near Homestead around 5:00 a.m. on August 24th with winds of 165 Per Hour. The Miami, Florida WSR-57 Radar located on the roof of the National Hurricane Center was destroyed shortly after the last complete scan of Hurricane Andrew at landfall. Andrew weakened slightly to a Category Four while traversing South Florida for a few hours, eventually emerging over the Gulf of Mexico. Just six named storms and one subtropical storm roamed the Atlantic Basin in the 1992 Hurricane Season. Only, one of those storms was a Category 5 Hurricane Andrew, which devastated South Florida with wind damage. About 125,000 homes were damaged or destroyed by Andrew. At the time, Andrew was the costliest natural disaster in U.S. History. Andrew is just one of four hurricanes to make landfall in the U.S. at Category 5 Strength. It defied the odds by also striking in one of the least active Atlantic Hurricane Seasons in the last 30 years. Thirty years after Hurricane Andrew made landfall in South Florida, the City of Homestead is stronger than ever. On Saturday, August 27th, 2022 the City of Homestead will commemorate the historic 30th Anniversary of Hurricane Andrew from 12:00 p.m. noon - 5:00 p.m. at the Homestead Cybrarium located at 80 West Mowry Drive, Homestead, Florida 33030. The event will feature many exciting elements like the unveiling of the Hurricane Andrew Virtual Reality Experience as well as kids’ learning and craft activities. Attendees will enjoy Hurricane related workshops by the National Weather Service and Florida International University as well as a diverse panel discussion that will feature firsthand accounts from community members who lived through this devastating tragedy. The new Hurricane Andrew Virtual Reality experience will take guests through a journey of the devastation, the aftermath and how the community not only rebuilt but is thriving. The experience is an extension of the Homestead History experience, which is an immersive virtual reality look at the history of the City of Homestead that explores the people, places and events that have shaped our community. The new Hurricane Andrew Exhibit will premiere at the event and will be available for viewing at the Cybrarium as part of the permanent collection. The event is a community effort organized by the City of Homestead in partnership with the Cybrarium, Homestead Town Hall Museum, National Weather Service and Florida International University.
