Moua's Farm Grows Organic Vegetables with Deep Roots
| At Moua's Farm stand, you'll find organic cabbage buds, purple yams, and sunchokes, all carefully grown by Ge Moua, the newest member of the Thursday Ferry Plaza Farmers Market community.
"If I grow anything, I want to be the first to taste it and eat it, so I can tell my customers, 'Hey, this is my product, this is how I cook it, and this is how it tastes," she says with passion and pride. "I'll be able to tell them the story."
The child of subsistence farmers, Ge farms organically because she can't imagine doing it any other way. "We grow everything organically because I don't believe plants need any extra help. As long as we take good care of them, nature should take of itself." |
