Lena’s family immigrated to the U.S. during the Vietnam Secret War where her grandfather was a “guerrilla” soldier. He passed shortly after their arrival to America, leaving her grandmother widowed at the age of 25 with 8 children to provide for. Her grandma provided for them the only way she knew how to: farm.

Growing up in the U.S. they were taught to chase the American Dream and pursue their goals. Both of Lena’s parents went on to get graduate degrees and Lena graduated from Fresno State University.

After her father lost his job, they, unfortunately, lost everything. But, found their way back through farming. Once returning to Merced they began their new journey which led them to be one of the most influential and vibrant flouriest in the Valley.

“Here at Humble Rice Farm, we believe in second chances and new opportunities. Although we are primarily family-owned and operated, we proudly employ individuals from all different walks of life, from teachers to pastors and ex-cons to nurses and on.”

Congratulations to our 2022 FAMILY-OWNED OPERATED NOMINEE OF THE YEAR! 💛

A truly amazing story. We can’t wait to see what accomplishes next!

"T.H. Bell formed Aqua-Yield in 1979 with 40 acres of sagebrush in Utah County. T.H. and his wife, Betty, wanted their sons to learn how to work together and earn money to go towards their college tuition. Warren, in particular, enjoyed the process of growing a quality crop. He gradually built the family farm into a successful business while his parents lived in Washington D.C., where T.H. served as Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of Education. Eventually, Warren’s son, Clark, took an interest in the family’s sod business. An entrepreneur at heart, Clark started using nanotechnology to improve farm production.
From there, Warren and Clark met Fraser and Mike Bullock, investors who love to back science-based companies. Together, they incorporated Aqua-Yield and formed an investor group, including sod growers from Australia, Canada, Norway and South Africa. The company filed its first patent and discovered new liquid nano applications for agriculture. Aqua-Yield is now the leading nanoliquid company for agricultural production worldwide. T.H. and Betty would be proud to know that the seeds they planted 40 years ago are producing world-class results."

It was great meeting with Clark Bell and learning more about his Family Owned Operated Company! We look forward to seeing all that he and his family do in the future! Make sure to go and them out!

It’s amazing to hear the backgrounds of family businesses and see the pictures from those we’ve met so far. From the beginning of time, every mom and pop shop has worked to develop their own story that was built on hard work and determination. It is not an easy task and the accomplishments made by generations are what makes these stories so admirable!
