- Hmong immigrants Chue and Tou Lee of Lee’s One Fortune Farm in Morganton, NC, grow Asian produce and heirloom rice from the mountains of Laos. The Lees arrived in Marion, NC, in the 1980s after fleeing the Vietnam War via a perilous trek through the jungle. Since then, they’ve worked to share their cultural heritage and commitment to sustainable farming with their community in western NC.
My Home, NC shares the heartwarming stories of the people, culture, food and music of North Carolina. Hosted by Heather Burgiss, the show uncovers and celebrates the hidden gems and histories that make life in our state so unique and enthralling.

Hmongs are such excellent farmers. the level of knowledge they have for south east asian vegetables, plants, and ingredients is remarkable.
I gotta love the NC accent mixing with the asian. I live just down the road from these guys
Hello Chue and Tou, so proud of your hard work it shows the best. 😊
Hmong has always been great farmers even back in Laos and Thailand. Growing vegetables on hillsides by hand.
I love farmers' markets, especially the local farmers that grow their own vegetables .
Absolutely love this!
Very quality show. Great job
love you guys provide so much for us !
Wow congratulations 🎉🎈🎊🍾 my people, God has a better plan for you and your family

I am looking forward to retire in NC and working like this everyday.
Hello! We have a small farm in Morganton and would love your help growing rice. Would you have some time to teach me?
Interesting fact: Hmong are the first humans to cultivate and harvest rice in ancient China , then spread it to the rest of the world.
Sure buddy
@@StationWagonLiving you think you know better??
@@LucasSmith-vy4cn I know, I know better
@@StationWagonLiving then explain, or you just fronting.
I would love to visit their farm! No info here about the location....

@Tree how? I'm legit friends with their daughter we are best friends and her parents are these people and they are toxic and abusive! How can you not believe that?
@@Raine_without_the_v you’re a snake not a friend 😂
@@bjjblue bro, is it that hard to believe that parents can be abusive and hide it? Your legit lying and you don't even know
@@Raine_without_the_v you mad bro? Sorry that you’re not good enough for their daughter 🤣
How can I visit this farm?
Car 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Perfect English, none of the silly wannabe ABC accent .. ❤❤
ເຮັດເຂົ້າເໝົ້າໄຫ້ກິນແດ່ນ້າບາວ
Why not come to Catawba County area more Hmong people
Majority of the Hmong family in NC grows their own vegetables. I don't see why they will buy from them.
Sharing to everyone of Jesus Christ, He is coming back. We are spiritually saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord God and Savior.
Allah Akbar brother ❤
Guys just bc they look nice doesn't mean they are... I know them and they are not good people
Are you sure? You're probably not Hmong to understand the culture difference. Lol
