    Say hi to Siok-Hong!

    About Grow4Health

    In 1984, after 4 years in the US, I graduated from Texas A&M at Galveston Moody campus with a Bachelor of Science degree and started a professional degree in the environmental industry as a chemist and later on as a project manager managing software deployment overseas. Fast track to present day, I am back in the environmental industry working on Rcra / EPA waste disposal. In 2017 I tinkered with growing microgreens while between jobs. Over 5 years later, I run a part time microgreens farmers market business and thoroughly enjoy it. In a few years, when I retire from my professional world, this part time gig will ease into full time. A nice ending to doing what I love.

    When did you first get started?

    2018

    What inspired you to start your business?

    I wanted to grow my own healthy food.

    What is your favorite thing to make/produce?

    Wasabi mustard microgreens and my Kamut Energy bars.

    Where are you from/where did you grow up?

    1962 — I came into this world at a hospital in a small city called Sarikei on Borneo island.

    Share a fun fact about yourself you’d like your customers to know!

    I love growing obviously. I run, do dragon boat, love to cook, and love helping people source great food. I also love traveling and watching nature shows.
