MIAMI, FLORIDA -- For some people near South Beach, in Miami, Florida, it's just another day, 'at the farm'.

20 people live at the Earth-'n-Us farm, in a very strange neighborhood for such a building.

The farm is smack dab in the middle of Little Haiti in Miami.

Some people live in treehouses, others live in tents.

It's a green way of living, and anyone is welcome inside.

Phil Seidler, a resident says. "it's like you're living in the jungle in the middle of a major city."

Says Ray Chasser, owner of the farm, "Most people that hear about it, and then come here, they say, 'wow!' You can't talk about it and do it justice until you see it."

There are gardens to provide food, fruits, vegetables and even edible flowers are on the menu.  And many animals call it home as well, including turkeys, emus and pigs.
