Welcome to Bodhitree Farm, named after the sacred tree under which The Buddha reached enlightenment. Our newly acquired farm spans 65 acres of preserved farmland located in Pemberton Township in the New Jersey Pinelands, where more than 100 different varieties of unique vegetables (most of them heirlooms) and herbs thrive.
All of our crops are chemical spray-free, treated in organic methods only as a last resort, and spreading our own compost as fertilizer. Even though this means that every year, half of our harvest is lost, it doesn’t go to waste. We throw it in a massive compost pile that will, in turn, fertilize the fields next season.
True to our name, we believe that vegetables grown with positive energy and a wonderful spirit can bring a kind of enlightenment to those who enjoy them. So come visit us and our beautiful veggies at the various greenmarkets in and around Manhattan.

Nevia No
A favorite of many of NYC’s top chefs, who flock to her Union Square Greenmarket stand, Nevia No came to farming a decade ago, after immigrating to the U.S. to pursue formal training in the performing arts. Ultimately, Nevia found herself pulled to her favorite art form of all — growing vegetables, which she has done for the last ten years. “I love to create these beautiful vegetables, to see them grow from seed to table,” says Nevia.
