In the restaurant culture of L.A., there are a good handful of famous farms whose names come up again and again. Thao Family Farms in California's Fresno County is one of them. The Thao's grow over 300 different types of all-natural, pesticide-free produce that they supply to farmers markets and top restaurants throughout California, including pretty much all of our favorite eateries in L.A.: Rustic Canyon, P.Y.T, Gjelina, Republique, Botanica, Sqirl, AOC, Animal, Jon and Vinnys, The Little Door, Felix, Night Market, Kismet...the list goes on.
Many of us who live in big cities fantasize about getting closer to the earth through that farm life, despite the enormous amount of day-to-day work it entails. We love talking with farmers about what they do to get a glimpse at that life and to achieve a closer sense of connection to our food. Follow along for a day in the life of farmer Kong Thao and watch for his top notch local produce next time you're surrounding by small plates at Gjelina or Kismet!
