MEET LARRY SANTOS

Meet Larry Santos. He can talk a blue streak when it comes to organic farming and has the official best moustache of any farmer in the Salinas Valley. Larry Santos has been part of our Earthbound Farm family for nearly 20 years and his agricultural roots go even deeper. Larry grew up on the Cauley Ranch in California’s Salinas Valley. And today, he manages that very same farm for Earthbound.

A native of South Monterey County, Larry says, “Growing up, my dad was a grower contact, which is a person who orchestrates farming contracts. I used to ride around in his pick-up truck and see him do his work. Agriculture is what I know.”

By the time he was 14 years-old, Larry was in the business himself, working for local farmers in the summers. “I was moving sprinkler pipe and bailing hay. They really put me through the wringer.”

When it came time to go to college, Larry realized agriculture was his true calling, and he has focused on growing the best possible produce and caring for the land ever since.

“It was 1995. Hardly anyone knew about organic,” says Larry of his choice to grow organically. He was working on a piece of land in the Salinas Valley that had not been farmed for 15 years. He encouraged his boss to give this “new, experimental” growing method a try.

“So we gave it a go, and I really got addicted. It is really hard to make an organic field look good. It takes years to learn. And we struggled, but we figured it out.”

From that moment on, Larry was hooked. His farm was transitioned to certified organic by 1998, and what started as 200 acres is now 600 acres on that piece of property today.

Instagram post 2196172824463796194_332060361 If Alex Trebek said: "A sweet, nutty, and tender vegetable," would you say "What is broccolette?" Awwwww....why not? Maybe because broccolette hasn't had the lavish media attention attracted by its cousins cauliflower, kale, and Brussels sprouts. But you're a rebel. We can see it in your eyes. Go for the broccolette and show the world you're smarter and have better taste. 🥦 A simple roasting will help you see the light: 375 degrees, toss with olive oil and a little sea salt. 20 minutes. And please...make it #organic.

Bonus...we really appreciate how perfectly geared up this harvester is, in compliance with Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) to protect food safety: Gloves✔ Beard Net✔ And we're pretty sure there's a Hair Net✔ under that hoodie!
