{"title":"Namu Farm","description":"\u003cp\u003eNamu Farm grows predominantly crops of the Asian diaspora. Our focus is to adapt both East Asian subsistence farming practices, as well as seed cultivars to the challenges of production farming in dry, hot conditions. We use natural farming practices, employing minimal tillage, and closed loop fertility management. Our Second Generation Seed line is a collaboration with Kitazawa Seed Company and grassroots community organizations designed to connect API people with the plants of our respective ancestral lands. We work to incorporate community led participatory research in our seed preservation and improvement practices through farm and culinary education programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.namusf.com\/about.html%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003enamusf.com\/about.html\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/namu_farm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003einstagram.com\/namu_farm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"38n-kkaennip-korean-perilla","title":"38N Kkaennip (Korean Perilla)","description":"\u003cp\u003eNamu Farm's Korean perilla variety is the classic large leaf used for \u003cem\u003essam\u003c\/em\u003e (wrapping a filling), is flavorful and hardy enough for \u003cem\u003ejangajji\u003c\/em\u003e (pickled vegetables).

Cut the stalks below the lowest seed clusters. If necessary, dry the seedheads further in the sun on a sheet or table away from moisture and precipitation. When fully dry, whack the seedheads in a bucket, allowing the ripest seed to fall. Sift through strainers to remove the largest chaff, and then winnow off the lighter chaff with your breath, a fan, or the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Namu Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21628264841296,"sku":"HERB-038","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2406\/3467\/products\/38_Kkaennip_perilla.JPG?v=1571609439"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2406\/3467\/collections\/image_1.jpeg?v=1512107951","url":"https:\/\/trueloveseeds.sbs\/collections\/namu-farm.oembed","provider":"Truelove Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
