Building Our Local Food Community
Farming is in our DNA
In 2011, a group of Hmong American farming families formed the Hmong American Farmers Association (HAFA) because we believed the best people to support Hmong farmers are Hmong farmers themselves and that we are all lifted up when those who are affected by an unfair food system lead the change we seek.
We formed with the mission to advance the prosperity of Hmong American farmers through cooperative endeavors, capacity building and advocacy.

For the Hmong community in the United States, late November through December is when we celebrate the Hmong New Year. During this time, we ask an elder to come and perform a hu plig (spirit calling) ceremony, we make special offerings to our ancestors, and we ask for blessings by ceremonially welcoming gold, silver, and bronze into our homes. ![]()
