Yesterday we got together at the farm to celebrate Sokha, and to say “goodbye/see you later.” Sokha is returning to Cambodia after living in the US for the majority of his life. He arrived to the US when he was 7 years old, and today he has children and grandchildren who love him very much.

His farm family also loves him, which is why we’re asking for donations to Sokha’s GoFundMe page, to help support him in his next chapter. Any little bit helps. Thank you so much! The link is in our bio 🌱

Hi everyone. 🌱

My name is Ny, and I’m one of the Core Council members at Resilient Roots Farm. Some of you may recognize me as I have been with RR Farm since it started the youth program in 2016, and it’s been one of the greatest privileges to grow alongside this community ever since.

As a Camden native, I’ve always felt a deep pull toward nature. Even as a kid, I longed for a connection to the land, but growing up in the city, I wasn’t always sure where to find it. Resilient Roots Farm was the first place that gave me that connection. It showed me what it feels like to care for the earth, to grow food with my own hands, and to experience the peace and healing that comes from being in the garden.

Over the years, I’ve left for college, graduate school, and opportunities in environmental education and watershed stewardship, but no matter how far I went, I always found my way back home to RR. This farm has been my anchor—a place that has nurtured my curiosity, my purpose, and my sense of belonging.

Looking back over the last 10 years, I realize that Resilient Roots didn’t just teach me how to garden. It taught me that community and land are deeply connected, and that caring for one means caring for the other. It has truly ignited my passion for connecting urban communities with nature and advancing equitable access to green spaces and environmental education.

I’m so grateful to continue serving as a Core Council member and to give back to the space that helped shape who I am. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. I can’t wait to keep growing, learning, and cultivating a community together. 💚🌿

Just a little progress update and glamor shots of the farm and some seed drops of mướp đắng/khổ qua and mướp hương (bittermelon and luffa). Our elders gifted us some seeds of a giant one from years ago and we've been selectively growing them in a mix of other seeds to build genetic diversity, to happy success 😁 excited to share these with our friends at TrueLove Seeds

We also have some very important updates coming soon about changes in the farm's horizon and look forward to sharing the news with folks. For now, please enjoy the beauty and splendor!

Plant update!

As it gets hotter, remember, some if not most of your baby plants need extra water! The sun is no joke. Here's some pictures of our plants growing and blooming! We recently just put up the trellis for our bittermelon and they are growing and latching on beautifully. Some water spinach growing, a viet household staple for hotpot, stir fries, and just simply delicious! Our Malabar spinach, kale, and cabbage have been growing splendidly... remember to harvest your league greens!

Until next time :)

A big thank you to the volunteers coming out this past Saturday! They helped us fix our compost pile and put some into our perennial beds!

As we close out spring soon, we are preparing to welcome in summer by making sure our plants have enough nutrients and water.

Stay posted for our next volunteer work days in the fall...and stay coooool.
