Lentil Underground

"The Lentil Underground" tells the inspiring story of David Oien and a group of organic farmers on Montana's Great Plains who challenge mainstream agribusiness practices by cultivating organic lentils, a crop tailored to their climate and sustainable farming principles. Led by Oien, these pioneers have built a thriving, multi-million dollar enterprise that emphasizes heirloom seeds and diversity, offering an alternative to chemically dependent agriculture. Journalist Liz Carlisle's richly reported narrative highlights their efforts to reshape American farming and promote a more sustainable future.
