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.
