Meet MFA's Hardworking Farmers


Mhonpaj's Garden is 3 acres of grape tomatoes, slicer tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, green peppers, and other crops for the Big River Farms CSA and wholesale business. In the future, Mhonpaj hopes to expand, including creating a recipe book for traditional Hmong Foods and teaching how organic food promotes a healthy lifestyle.

Mhonpaj has been connected with MFA for several years. MFA’s Southeast Asian Coordinator has provided training and located resources. Together they already have worked to resolve a number of issues related to drip irrigation setup, product liability insurance, and budgeting information.

Mhonpaj believes farming improves a person's ability to appreciate. Farming is a form of meditation and a great stress reliever. It is also a time for the entire family to pitch in and work on a project together.
