Our work is made possible through relationships that center community care, cultural belonging, and food justice. We are proud to be in relationship with:

In December 2021, our founding team met through the National Young Farmers Coalition's virtual conference and connected through the Asian Farmers affinity caucus.* There was no explicit group for Asian people, so we assembled our own. From there, we built relationships and pursued the question, "What does it mean to be visible, engaged, and organized as Asian Americans within the food/climate justice movement?"

We share an understanding that new generations of farmers not only inherit the responsibility to feed people, but to address the challenges of climate chaos and increasing social inequities. We follow indigenous and Black leaders worldwide by prioritizing our energy towards restoring the health of our local ecology and communities.

Like many diaspora peoples, we grapple with how to preserve and adapt the traditions that allowed our East-Asian ancestors to sustain soil fertility and themselves for centuries. We center cultural traditions in our work to draw connections between heritage and the present land we live on, and instill a sense of belonging to land and one another.
