Humbleweed Farm's mission is to nurture soil, strengthen community, & foster biodiversity.

Located in Champaign, Illinois Humbleweed Farm is a micro farm specializing in vegetables culturally significant to Korea, garlic, and luffa sponges. Our fresh produce can be found at local restaurants, small grocers, and co-op farm stands from May - October.

Growing operations are human powered, relying on hand tools and our bodies rather than heavy machinery. We strive to farm ethically & sustainably by thoughtfully incorporating no-till and natural growing methods to our systems. This means the food we grow are grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. It means we strive to work with the rhythm of nature. The mission is to nurture soil, strengthen community, and foster biodiversity. 

Thanks for being here. My name is Miky (she/her) and I'm a first generation Korean-American farmer transplanted in Champaign-Urbana from Chicago. I began my agriculture journey in 2019 volunteering at local farms and taking horticulture courses. The 2020 pandemic changed my perception of our food system, helping me realize the power of collaboration as opposed to competition.
