welcome to Hoffman Farms
A Story of two 3rd generation farmers…
In 2011 when Hanmei and Derrick first met, little did they know where they would be 10 years later. Hanmei had the idea of taking their family garden that resided on 3 acres in north Greeley and making it into an urban farm in 2014. By 2016 they were rapidly growing to meet the needs of the local food system. Now, they farm over a 100 acres and have grown to meet the challenges of institutional procurement and wholesale markets.
Hanmei was born and raised in southern China. Her family had a history of farming in the Fujian Province, raising ducks, growing mangos, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens like bok choi. Despite her rural up bringing as a 3rd generation farmer in China, she never thought it would be her career after immigrating to America. She takes great pride in the quality of produce Hoffman Farms grows, and takes extreme care making each of deliveries to our customer base.
Derrick was born and raised in Loveland, Colorado. His family being immigrants of German from Russia decent, coming to Colorado in 1903 to work the Sugar Beet industry. Derrick grew up farming commodity crops with his Grandfather, and Father, until his father retired in 2002. Derrick being a 3rd generation farmer, didn’t follow that path initially. He spent over 22 years in Education before working along side Hanmei to grow their operation into what it is today. You will find Derrick in a tractor or in the field, ensuring everything is ready each season.
