About the farm ๐
In 1999, Larry bought the 130-acre property he currently farms in Los Osos, CA. The farm is about four miles from the ocean, making it too cold to grow echinacea when Larry first settled there. However, in recent years global warming has changed the climate so much that he can now grow botanical herbs.
Larry grows wheat, barley, rye, millet, teff, sorghum, and legumes in the winter - much of which are dry farmed (not irrigated except for rain and moisture in the soil). The annuals such as millet and sorghum require irrigation. He also grows lentils, peas, fava beans, fenugreek, and beans of all kinds in the summer, which are also irrigated by movable, lateral sprinkler lines. There are often 70 different varieties of crops on his table at the farmersโ market, and 1,000 crops on the farm.
