Resilient Family Farmers Making It Work

From Laos to California: The Remarkable Journey of Ia Moua When the Vietnam War ended, thousands of Hmong people who had fought with American troops were no longer safe in their homelands. Many relocated to the U.S, like Ia Moua. She, along with her husband and her eight children, arrived in Fresno in 1993. Unable to speak or read English when she arrived, Ia felt adrift in California at first. But she found some stability after finding a small plot of land where she could grow Hmong rice, a variety unlike anything found in grocery stores. Now, Ia’s field is much more than a livelihood – it’s become a gathering place for the Hmong community and a reminder of home. California author Lisa Hamilton traces Ia’s journey from a tiny village in Laos to the Central Valley in her new book, The Hungry Season: A Journey of War, Love, and Survival. She joins guest host Lesley McClurg to share Ia’s story and talk about the surprising process of reporting the book, most of which took place while working alongside Ia in a rice field. Hidden Gem: One of San José’s Last Working Orchards Has Been Family Run Since 1945 Before San Jose became synonymous with tech companies, it was known as the Valley of Heart’s Delight because of the luscious fruit orchards that proliferated there. Many of those orchards have been paved over to make room for homes and tech campuses, leaving only 5% of Santa Clara County’s original farmland. For our Hidden Gems series, Reporter Daphne Young takes us to one of the last working orchards in San Jose. It’s been run by the same family for almost 80 years. Learn more about your ad choices.
