Yuko’s Yasai

Yuko Suda wasn’t always a farmer. A civil engineer by profession, Yuko entered farming when she became a parent. She sought farming as a way to fight climate change, support the local ecology and be a better parent. As a child, her mother had trouble finding authentic Japanese ingredients to cook with. Becoming a parent led her to question what it meant to be Japanese and how home cooked meals can pass down culture.
