The Vegetables 99% of American Farms Refuse to Grow

Urban food systems prioritize long-distance supply chains that favor shelf life and transportability over flavor, nutrition, and ecological resilience. As a result, many East Asian vegetables consumed in U.S. cities are conventionally grown, imported from far away, and limited to a narrow range of commercially viable varieties. At Choy Division Farm in the Hudson Valley, Christina Chan demonstrates an alternative model of localized vegetable production. Growing 40–50 varieties of East Asian crops in nutrient-dense black dirt soils, the farm emphasizes varietal diversity, seed saving, and soil health to reduce food miles, preserve flavor, and strengthen regional food security. ***** PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you.
