2010
This year we are offering a CSA of certified organic, heirloom vegetables including some varieties from the Slow Food “Ark Of Taste.” We are really excited about the opportunity to establish relationships with our customers.

Future Goals
Within the next 5 years we hope to move to the country and be able to have more animals. Until then we are having a great time working the fields as a family.

We (Proeun and Amy) come from very different backgrounds. I (Amy) grew up in suburban environments. I was very much a “city girl,” more interested in coffee shops and restaurants then gardening. 
        
I (Proeun) was born in the mountains of Cambodia. My first home was a 3 sided hut in the region of Dangrek. My family survived by farming and harvesting wild plants and animals from the jungle. I was born in 1975, in the height of the “Killing Fields” era. When I was 6 months of age my family journeyed over the mountains into Thailand. It took 2 nights traveling the backroads. The whole village left: 127 people traveled together. Seven did not make it. 
        
Once in Thailand we became refugees. It was another 3 years before I came to the U.S.  
        
Our son showed an immediate interest in the outdoors and decided he wanted to be a farmer. Our farm is named after him. 
        
We started with an urban homestead, garden and 4 chickens. We now have 3 children under five. But we know this is the only life we want for them. 
       
Food sources are an important topic for us. We want to eat in season, locally grown and organic food as much as possible. It’s the healthiest way, good for the local economy and the environment. We are very happy with the direction were heading. We want to share this with people.         
        
At the 2008 Living Green Expo we found out about the Minnesota Food Association. It seemed meant to be.
