Larry Kandarian, grain farmer, Kandarian Organic Farms, Los Osos, CA

An agricultural legacy, Larry Kandarian is the energy and heart behind Kandarian Organic Farms in Los Osos, California. Larry started in tech, but went on to work in seed farming where he grew interested in grasses, the family of grains. Heirloom and ancient grains are now Larry’s primary focus, and he is a rock star on the international food scene. Larry is an encyclopedia of agricultural knowledge, but it’s his passion for grains that has captured people’s culinary imagination. Here, Larry discusses the correlation between grain cultivation and human development, his new venture, Heart & Soil Farm, which he is developing with his “bread brother,” Guy Frenkel, and his recipe for Longevity Stew, which I’ve posted on Larry's episode page at letsgetconsumed.com.
