Thao, executive director of National Hmong American Farmers, immigrated to Fresno, CA with his family at age 8, after Laotian citizens were granted asylum in the US after the Vietnam war. Many of the first Hmong farmers suffered from discrimination, so Thao left his "cushy" job at the city of Fresno to ORGANIZE his community in a fight against injustice. Using the experiences of community members, Thao has grown NHAF to promote economic development, training and assistance to create positive social change in his community.

way to go...man!! being a farmer is tough...that's why I support farmers market. Yes my parent's sell strawberries and they don't even make anything. Everything at the farmers market is fresh and local so support them ...and it's cheap. I can have a whole month of vegetable supplies for 30 bucks at the most...don't believe me?? then visit your hmong farmers market where available... thanks
