In a new short film, a farm in the New Jersey Pinelands is depicted ethereally—a place lush and far removed from the mores of urban living. “When I first saw this land, I fell in love in five minutes,” its owner recalls. Watch here.
Nevia No’s mother, who emigrated from what is now North Korea, was embarrassed of her chosen profession; in turn, the film focusses on Nevia’s desire to pass on her work to her own daughter.
“When I first saw this land, I fell in love in five minutes,” Nevia recalls in the film. Before she was a grower, she had met a farmer and become enthralled by the life style that the work could provide, which led her to start Bodhitree. Since then, Nevia’s sixty-five-acre plot has supplied some of the top chefs and farmers’ markets in New York City—her the “Greenmarket Goddess.
The squabbles between the two accentuate moments of tenderness, of love. Behind a parked car, Euni checks Nevia’s heart rate: “Ninety-five. But you also just did . . . a lot of heart work.” Nevia then reaches down to lift a heavy bucket. Euni takes it from her. “You’re not bringing that over there,” she says. “Mom, you’re, like, so old. Bye.”
