This remarkable and heart-warming story produced by PBS North Carolina is about Chue and Tou Lee, Hmong immigrants who fled Laos after the Vietnam War. They established One Fortune Farm in Morganton, NC, where they grow Asian produce and heirloom rice, sharing their cultural roots and farming traditions with mostly non-Asians in their community. Through sustainable practices and social engagement, the Lees honor their heritage while enriching the agricultural landscape of western North Carolina.
