Hmong Vaj Farms is located in
Kansas City, Kansas just off I- 70. They have been farming this property since
2011 and take advantage of every inch. Over the years, they have added more cut
flowers and some peach trees, which started to produce a little more this year.
Many of the items they grow are finished for the year since it is late in the
summer. Can you believe it is the first day of fall?
As I walked through their fields,
I could see that they had recently replanted items for the fall since they
continue to come to the market into November if we do not have a heavy frost
before then. There was an abundance of eggplant, okra, peppers, squash and long
beans and a variety of flowers. You will see greenhouse tomatoes, watermelon
and pumpkins in Chiong’s stalls on the weekends, these are grown locally and
are purchased at the Central Missouri Produce Auction in Versailles, MO or the
4 County Produce Auction in Windsor, MO. Hmong Vaj Farms is contracted for four
stalls at the Saturday and Sunday farmers market. Two of these stalls, each day, are in the
markets supplement category which means beside the produce they grow they can
supplement up to 50% of the produce sold in that stall as long as it was
harvested within a 500 miles of the City Market. You will find Hmong Vaj Farms
located in stalls 90, 91,108 and109 on Saturdays and stalls 70, 71, 90 and 91
on Sundays.
