With notes of cashew and cinnamon, this ancient grain has a ton of vitamins and the most satisfying chew. Farro can be used like any other grain. Make a hearty salad or buddha bowl with it instead of rice or quinoa. Serve as a side dish or add to soups and stews like you would barley. You can also make this delicious heirloom variety of farro the star of a dish by making Insalata di farro with chopped up celery, dried cranberries, parsley and your favorite veggies.
Farro is whole, not pearled.

New York State has a rich agricultural history, including the farming of dried beans. In fact, the US dry bean industry began in Western, NY in the mid-nineteenth century. Western NY remained the center of domestic dried bean production for many years, reaching 500,000 bushels by the 1890s.
Over the last decade there has been a renaissance of family farming across NYS, including the growing of dried beans. At the forefront of this movement is Peter Martens of Seneca Grain & Bean. Peter & Hannah Martens Farm grows a variety of organic dried beans, as well as a variety of organic grains. Their mill is certified organic with NOFA-NY and they exclusively handle organic grains.
