Harvard Farmers Market

Hmong Farm is one of eight commercial farmers within Flats Mentor Farm, a hands-on mentoring farm for small, beginning farmers of diverse ethnic backgrounds. In aggregate, these farmers supply Asian vegetables and other produce to twenty Farmers Markets across Massachusetts.

The Hmong are an ethnic group from Asia, with their own language and culture. Most living in the U.S. today are from Laos. They bring a bounty of distinctive produce to the Harvard Farmers Market, including pea tendrils, squash blossoms, amaranth, Asian spinach, lemongrass and Bok Choy. The smell of Hmong Farm’s cilantro is enough to stop a Market shopper in their tracks! Unfamiliar with cooking some of these exotics?
