Last Saturday, The GrowHaus lost a dear friend, and our community lost a true champion for local food access, nutrition, and sustainable farming. I am so honored to have worked with Emery Golson since the beginning of my journey in this space. In fact, it was her and her beloved husband and vision partner Miles who were the first funding partners who welcomed me to The GrowHaus and they did so with such warmth, enthusiasm for my leadership, curiosity and wide open hearts.
Those who like me, had the absolute privilege to meet and collaborate with Emery know how truly special she was - a quiet revolutionary and passionate leader in trust-based funding. Her humbleness, passion and kindness were her super powers.
My heart is with Miles, their beautiful children and family. Such a devastating loss. Thank you for believing in our work, and for planting seeds in all of us, Emery. You will never be forgotten.
