Meet Farmer Sol
Meet farmer Sol Ezra. Sol and his family have been farming a unique plot of land between a parking lot and train station for about three years. Named Swan Farm, the soil in this little niche is strong and has produced a nice bounty of food for three years. This year farmer Sol and his family are donating 25% of their harvest to Farm to Live. Check out our PHOTOS on our PAGE of us helping Farmer Sol put together his plot!
Worm-compost-tea-stockings.
Are these your stockings? “Yes.” Filled with WORM POOP??? “YES!!!!!” Hey volunteers, check out MEVO’s worm-compost-tea bags (made from old stockings). We are letting these seep over night and then we will have some nutrient rich ultra-organic fertilizer tomorrow! Check out the pictures on our pages.
Great work volunteers!

Apr. 29: Hike of the Month
It wouldn’t be a MEVO month without a hike!
Volunteers interested can attend the MEVO hiking trip at the Ramapo Valley County Reservation (a.k.a “The Res”) on Ramapo Valley Road (Route 202) in Mahwah, NJ. If you’re looking for some tough trails and truly beautiful vistas, MEVO hikes are the place to be! This hike will meet in the parking lot at 10 AM. Bring water, some extra food (if you want), and clothing appropriate for the weather and for hiking! During the hike, volunteers will be bringing along trash bags and trash grabbers as well so we can clean-up the trails in the reservation and hike all at the same time!
If you have any additional questions, please email emmaspett@mevoearth.org or call 201-566-6916! RSVP on Facebook.
Hope to see you all there!
Future leaders
Hey volunteers! MEVO is going to be at Bergen County Academies on April 4th to recruit a new generation of MEVO leaders. Cheers to the future and making a difference!
