- Farmers of Hmong descent make up the largest percentage of flower vendors of Pike Place Market in Seattle.
Hmong refugees started coming to the United States in the 1980s from Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. In 1982 the Indochinese Farm Project was started to help support these refugees. Funded by King County and the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority (PDA), the project provided land to grow crops and stalls at the market to sell them.
"It taught Hmong farmers how to grow in a different climate while also preserving their culture, their traditions, their heritage," said Madison Bristol, marketing and public relations manager at Pike Place Market PDA.

Laos is an agriculture country so 90% of the people are growing their own crops and stocks. So working in the farm is a hard work but it is a normal since they are getting used to it and good at it. I went thru it myself when I was in Laos.
Hello❤❤❤
They came as refugees, so they got help from the US government which in turn helped their children to have a better life . And their hard work has made them successful.
