Synopsis
Shades of IndigoSam Dhaliwal is a Sikh farmer who migrated to America in 1976. Starting with just ten acres of land, and overcoming white supremacist attacks, Sam today owns over 400 acres of farmland in Bellingham, Washington. However, this isn’t just an immigration story.
The passion that the entire Dhaliwal family has towards agriculture can be seen in every step of their journey. Following Sam’s retirement, his son Rob becomes involved in the farm operation after receiving a degree in horticulture.
With Sam’s experience and grit coupled with Rob’s academic approach and technological awareness, the Dhaliwal’s today have broadened into verticals of processing and packaging their harvest. They even hire documented migrant labor as a way of giving back.
