If you are not familiar with the Wakamatsu Farm, it’s an historic farm in Placerville, CA and is the original site of the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Farm Colony that was established in June 1869. It’s not only the site of the first Japanese colony in the US, but also the birthplace of the first Japanese American.
