From the Central Highlands to the Southeast

Our family farms in Cư M'gar, Đắk Lắk, in Vietnam's Central Highlands, grow durian, passion fruit and coffee. Farming there is family-scale and hands-on: vines on sturdy trellises, crops matched to red upland soils, and fruit picked when it's ready.

Georgia shares the Highlands' humid summer heat but not their frost-free winters. So we bring the tradition and the techniques, and we're straight about which plants can make the trip.
