From Bitter Melon to Sinqua: MNC Moua Farm Shares Their Roots
Opo, sinqua, bitter melon, and Thai chilies are just some of the popular varieties of vegetables you’ll find at MNC Moua Farm, the newest member of the Saturday Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. For more than 30 years, the Moua family has grown a wide variety of traditionally Asian vegetables and herbs at their Fresno farm.

“We’ve been experimenting and growing more and more different crops every year due to popular demand from farmers markets,” says Gary Moua, a second-generation farmer at MNC Moua Farm. “That’s what got us started growing different varieties.”
