Gung Hoe Growers

We want to be farmers that are growing nutrient-dense food to feed our community and the soil it grows in. Our vision is to create a small, manageable and viable organic market garden. In our journey we hope to become a working example that may inspire other young farmers.

This region has a long history of food growing, including the chinese market gardeners of the gold rush era. A Gung Hoe is a traditional hand tool that those market gardeners would have used to provide food for their community. We both love to work with this tool and for us it symbolises the small scale enterprise we want to nurture. The Mandarin translation of Gung Ho is 'working together', the western interpretation is eager and enthusiastic...we hope to embody all of the above!

Thanks for all the support, keep in touch, we would love to hear from other young farmers out there too!
Grow well...
