About Us
Coming from various farming and F&B industry background, we were no stranger to how food is produced. We believe a big problem with how food is produced will be solved by someone else whether some organic food association, or shift in global food manufacturers will occur. Decades have passed, organic food still only 5.5% from global food in retail. Farms we saw decades ago still use various chemical inputs just to get by. We started to wonder, what kind of food children will eat? What kind of land next generation will farm?
As the urgency grew, we decided to take matters in our hand, that's how Tom Vang Farmland was created. "Tom Vang" (Golden Shrimp) in Vietnamese shrimp farming culture symbolizes Hope - Belief that even in harsh conditions, renewal is possible. It describes our sentiment towards the current state of food production and how we want to change it, pragmatic but optimistic.
