coeur et sol means heart + soil

We are urban farmers with a mission to grow commercial produce sustainably in Essex County, NJ

Our small business development is guided by our desire to help feed, educate, and enrich urban ecosystems with locally sourced agriculture grown organically. Coeur et Sol Farms and gardens are spaces where we hope to connect food, community, and sustainability by applying market gardening principles.

Our first seeds were sown spring 2018 on 1/4 acre
in East Orange. using this model we hope to expand and develop
other undernourished properties while feeding our neighborhood.

How healthy can dirt be? There is a huge difference in what we can grow in soil that has the right blend of nutrients. No-till farming is an effective way to bring balance to even polluted city soil.

As 2018 is quickly coming to a close, I am full of gratitude for all of my fellow farmers who made this season a success. Andrew at @jerseynaturalfarm grew a lot of greens for our customers in the last half of the 2018 season. In 2019, his farm will be a contributor and grower for our multi-farm CSA & markets, among several other small scale producers in Northern NJ. It is my hope to curate a collective of passionate, small scale farmers to provide more fresh produce and goods for Essex County. We will be launching sign ups in early 2019. Let the planning begin! . . . . . . . . . #njfarms #jerseyfresh #youngfarmers #creativepreneurs #supportlocalfarms #smallscalefarming #wecandomoretogether #whywegrow #essexcountynj #startwithwhy #slowfoodmovement #urbanmeetsrural So excited to be offering this delicious bread (made with NJ grown grains!) from @swampyvalefarm made by #farmher Nora in Pittstown, NJ♥️👩🏼‍🌾👩🏻‍🌾 available as a build your own box option, or in the Essentials Box with local eggs, tea, and microgreens. . “This country white bread is built around an Italian biga starter which ferments for 14 hours overnight! A blend of white and whole wheat flours and long fermentation give each loaf a round, earthiness perfect for your next sandwich. This bread is simply made, with a passion for bringing fresh food and heart to the table. Just flour, water, salt and yeast.” .

The short, chilly days seem perfectly complimented by the sound of the tea kettle warming up. @farmbasedfoodie hand blended herbal teas are my go to— right now Warm & Cozy is my go to with its notes of clove and oat grass providing a perfect balance of sweetness and earthiness.

We started with space for 4 10x20 flats (bottom right) and then built the black shelf which had room for all of our garden starts and eventually 9 additional 10x20” flats. Now, we have vertical space for 96 10x20” flats in our grow room— which is the basement of our home. ...and we are still growing! . . . . #urbanfarms #womeninag #womanfarmer #youngfarmers #microgrow #indoorfarming #winterfarming #thebeginning #juststartsomewhere #femaleentrepreneurship #microgreens #urbanhomesteader My goal: always be the friend that shows up with fresh #microgreens, produce, and eggs from the #urbanhomestead 🌱 Breakfast at my friend @apriljanelasky’s apartment in Brooklyn 😘 . . . . . . #eatwhatyougrowandgrowwhatyoueat #sunflowershoots #urbanfarms #njfarms #saturdaymorningsarethebest #brooklyn
