ABOUT THE FARMERS
​
MEREDITH
Hi, I'm Meredith Cohen! I grew up in Hillsborough, NC, and I am thrilled to be back home and putting down roots in Cedar Grove.
During the three years I spent working for Adamah Farm and living at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center, I fell in love with Jewish communal life and organic farming at the same time. I moved back to North Carolina in 2016, and I was lucky enough to work at two incredible farms in the area - Elysian Fields Farm and South Wind Produce.
I started One Soil Farm in 2018. It's a dream to have the opportunity to grow food for my community and to share my combined love of Judaism and farming.
MOLLY
Hi, my name is Molly, but some folks call me “Momo.” I’m originally from Los Angeles, CA and I love growing fruits and veggies! There is nothing like the joy of pulling a fresh carrot out of the ground or digging through the soil to find a golden potato treasure. I come to One Soil Farm with over a decade of farm production experience and an MS in Soil and Crop Sciences. I met Meredith in 2013 at Adamah Farm while participating in their Jewish farming fellowship program. After farming together for 3 seasons, I knew Meredith was my soil-mate. I am looking forward to cultivating a Jewish farm community with Meredith here in Durham, NC.
ABOUT OUR NAME
The phrase One Soil originates with Karl Hammer of the Vermont Compost Company and, thanks to Dr. Shamu Sadeh, has become a rallying cry of the Adamah farming community. It represents the scientific and spiritual ways we are all connected by the cycle of compost. On the Adamah farm, the call and response of "ONE! SOIL!" can be heard throughout the day as a short-hand reminder between farmers that everything on the farm - and the earth - is connected, including ourselves. We are all one soil!
