Christine Kengue, owner-operator of The Grace Farm, is from the Republic of Congo (aka Congo-Brazzaville). After fleeing conflict, she lived in Moanda, Gabon. Christine resettled permanently in Houston in 2009. She speaks French, Znebi, Lingala, and is continuing to learn English when not working on her farm.

Christine loves Houston’s weather! It’s familiar and advantageous to a Congo-raised farmer. Christine loves farming because of the sense of peace it brings her. She also enjoys the feeling of accomplishment she gets from bringing in a harvest. Christine grows at the PIF Fondren Farm. You can purchase her produce through our Farm Share.
