Our fourth episode features mother-daughter pair Hiu and Hana Newcomb.
Together with family members from three generations and a crew of dedicated farmhands, Hana and Hiu run Potomac Vegetable Farms in Vienna, Virginia. At a time when small family farmers often have to disconnect from their farms in order to make a living, Hiu and Hana have a lot of wisdom to offer about sustaining the land, strengthening family connections, and planning for the future while also running a successful farming enterprise.
