About Us
Moe Thu: Originally from Burma, Moe is in the second year of the New Roots for Refugees. He used to farm 30 to 40 acres there. He describes farming as both a hobby and a job.
Learning what to grow here in Kansas can be a challenge. For example, he is unable to grow peanuts here, but carrots grow very well. (Seriously, Moe grows some of the most beautiful baby carrots!) In Burma, Moe used cows rather than machines to work his land. He would like to try growing strawberries and blueberries one day.
Moe and his family love eating green beans and potatoes but admits they are not fond of chard. Moe and his wife, Fom Chin, are at Lenexa City, Kansas, Saturday market, and both always have the warmest smiles on their faces.
