Grown by family.
Rooted in culture.

We are a family of local Hmong farmers bringing a fresh taste of Asian fruits and vegetables to Western North Carolina.

We farm together in the traditional way—sharing labor, knowledge, and seeds. What began as food for our families has become a way to honor our elders and share remarkable flavors with our neighbors.

“The farm is how we preserve what our elders know—and pass it forward.”

Our family has farmed in the foothills of North Carolina for more than 40 years. Today, twelve growers work together; six also tend our heirloom rice.

Many of our seeds have been kept for generations. Their unique flavors are essential to Hmong cooking and tell the story of where we come from.
