Hmong farmers in Minnesota

Perhaps now and then I'll post a link to a blog or article I find interesting or enjoy.  From Minnesota Public Radio comes this article about Hmong farmers around Minnesota.  We enjoy going to the farmers' markets in St. Paul and a majority of the produce stands there are run by Hmong families.  The Hmong are an ethnic group from southeast Asia that began coming to Minnesota after the Vietnam War and were probably an unknown people to the Ladies of Zion.  In the last couple decades, the Twin Cities have grown to have one of the largest Hmong communities in the nation, and have become all the better for it.

There are a couple recipes at the bottom of the article.  I may have to try them.  Enjoy!
