Always yearning to learn something new, Sang was eager to personally help David on his Skagit County Farm. The first harvest of the crop is anticipated this upcoming year, which will be utilized to supply healthy local organic food alternatives for donation to the local homeless community that would otherwise be unavailable. David's goal is to carry his father's memory with this organic food program, with the intent to eventually expand to the Seattle area and beyond.
