Brad Moldofsky

Amateur gardener Brad Moldofsky was inspired to start digging in his yard as soon as he finished reading "The Good Earth". Since then, he's been focused on his own personal organic vegetable gardening education. Beyond his own plot of land, Brad has also lends a hand landscaping his LEED-certified synagogye with local and sustainably-produced plants and is also working on a charitable project to purchase CSA shares for needy families. Brad hopes to one day be able to feed his family from his backyard and he's taking us along for the ride.
