Xeng and Lia
Xeng (first image, center) and Lia (first image, right) are Hmong farmers from Laos who own a farm in Johnston, RI, where they allow customers to visit. The Neutaconkanut Farmers Market is the only Farm Fresh market they go to.
Xeng: We have been selling our stuff at Farm Fresh for maybe six or seven years. I sell. I open the farm. Some people, they come by the farm. My experience is 40 years farming. I open for people; they come to the farm. Some people order from me from home. They come and pick up. Like that. That's it. I went in the farm long time ago. 40 years. I was like 7, 8 years old. I do every type of farming.
