wondering if they are doing organic crops as well?

I feel for Michael from his difficult past due to communism invasion during 1970's. Thailand also was affected by insurgencies when I was young. Essentially Thailand is a free and safe place for all refugees from Hmong, South Vietnam(boat people), and Karen.

Any Thai farmers in Fresno just curious, or just Thai restaurants? :)

I am a Thai in Los Angeles area and interested in organic farming as a hobby. I enjoy your videos. I will love to have a small farm who knows Fresno might be a good place to start.
