We quit our jobs to travel the world. Now my wife and I run her family's farm in South Korea.
Kang "Kay" Soo-il had never grown a crop from start to finish. He learned the basics from his father-in-law on his wife's family farm in South Korea.
Kang Kay Soo-il and his wife Lily quit their corporate jobs to travel the world for two years. They later returned to South Korea and took over the family farm, initially operating as Ssabdari Deodeok before rebranding as Deodeokmong, or Dream of Deodeok. The couple secured a local government small-business support grant, allowing them to pivot the farm's production into popular products like butter cookies, lattes, and scones.
Despite the challenges of balancing parenthood and farm work, they are committed to preserving traditional crops and adapting to modern demands in the farming industry.
