Pansori is a traditional Korean form of musical storytelling that means "a situation where many people are gathered” or "a song composed of varying tones.” It represents my Korean heritage and the many voices of the beings we gather with on the farm — be it ourselves, our community members, sheep, chickens, geese, guinea fowl, red-tailed hawks, eagles, coyotes, bears, bats, or bees.

Pansori Farm aims to grow Korean & Chinese medicinal herbs, fruits, and mushrooms as well as raise sheep, chickens, and pigs. We also aim to foster a nourishing space for our communities to gather, learn, and celebrate. Some activities we hope to offer in the future include horseback archery, falconry, and traditional land-based celebrations.

I’m Hyunhee - the founding land steward of Pansori Farm. As a child of working class Korean immigrants on stolen land, I have long had a deep desire to tap into my ancestral lineage of farming and herbal medicine to rehydrate the land-based wisdom of my family. Farming and herbal medicine knowledge skipped my parents' generation and I’m slowly learning my way back to a deeper relationship with plants and land.

In 2025, we began our first year stewarding land in Catskill, NY (unceded Mohican and Haudenosaunee lands) with a starter flock of sheep. Stay tuned as we grow and share more!
