Greenhorns Radio

Dave Oien
On this week's episode of Greenhorns Radio, Severine speaks with Dave Oien, a third generation farmer who continues to work his family’s land in Montana. Dave transitioned the land to organics back in the 80’s and started an organic seed and edible legumes business in 1987, along with three business partners. Dave, as well as Timeless Seeds and its other Montana-based legume growers, recently became publicly visible after being the focus of Liz Carlisle’s recent book, The Lentil Underground.
"There's a wide variety of culinary applications and uses [for pulse crops] that date back thousands of years, so chefs are very interested in them just for their versatility." [15:25] – Dave Oien
