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.

At HAFA, we love hearing about the unique traditions that help you transition into the new year.For example, some Hmong American families wash their elders’ feet and ask for blessings. Others welcome a “stranger” at the door, symbolizing gold, silver, and bronze for prosperity.What is an end-of-year ritual you or your family participates in?
