Our guest this week on the Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast is Larry Kandarian of Kandarian Organic Farms. He grows heritage grains, legumes and pulses in central coastal California. He shares his tips on regenerative agriculture and so much more.
We caught up with Larry at the Santa Monica Wednesday Farmers Market, one of many locations where he can be found selling his colorful collection of legumes and heritage grains. He sat down to share his wisdom in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
We chat about interplanting (polycultures), regenerative practices, and soil health. He also takes us through the history of ancient grains. Listen and learn!
