The Nourishing Asian Kitchen (and Farm!) with Farmer/Author Sophia Nguyen Eng

Sophia Ngueyen Eng was a successful marketer in Silicon Valley, in March of 2020. When the world shut down Sophia immediately realized the importance of food security. She quickly expanded her garden and even ventured into raising chickens. As Sophia's connection to the land grew so did her connection to her heritage as she tapped into traditional Asian gardening practices. Within years she and her family adopted the homesteading lifestyle and moved away from the city and on to 7 acres. Now, she pursues her passions for sustainable farming and nourishing Asian cuisine on her farm in Tennessee, where she employs regenerative practices to raise grass-fed dairy cows, beef cattle, laying hens, broilers, ducks, sheep, goats, turkeys, and traditional Asian practices to grow a variety of produce for her multi-generational family and local community. She has put it all down in her new book, The Nourishing Asian Kitchen, which spotlights healthy recipes from several different Asian traditions that can be made with farm-fresh whole foods. Her book draws parallels between soil and human health, for example how she feeds the soil with the same kind of fermented microbes as we can feed ourselves, with foods like sauerkraut and kimchi, and lactic acid bacteria from Korean Natural Farming for the soil. Learn how to feed yourself as well as you do your soil with this podcast and her book, The Nourishing Asian Kitchen. Connect With Guest:Email: [email protected]: https://www.freedomfundings.comWebsite: https://www.homesteadingrealtor.comWebsite: https://www.sprinklewithsoil.comInstagram: @freedomfundingsInstagram: @homesteadingagentInstagram: @sprinklewithsoilPodcast: https://www.thecalltofarms.comSubstack: https://sprinklewithsoil.substack.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sprinklewithsoilSubscribe To Our Magazine - FREE 28-Day Trial:Our Website: www.GrowingForMarket.com
