Meet our Farmers
Bamboo farming provides an excellent side business for supplemental income to farmers in the Sichuan region. Meet Mr. Chan. He is a farmer, entrepreneur and father, growing bamboo in Sichuan Province. He & his family own a family business adjacent to 300,000 square metres of land they lease from the government. This land is used for bamboo harvesting. By using sustainable farming practices, bamboo farms never need to be clearcut. Like many farmers in the region, Mr. Chan harvests bamboo for supplemental income during the slower winter months of his primary business. With the long term in mind, Mr. Chan believes the land will readily provide for his family for years to come.
