Daryl Lasilla, Montana Grain Farmer
Gail Nickel-Kailing, September 28th, 2013 Daryl Lasilla, grain farmer, grows buckwheat, barley, spelt, and lentils in just outside of Great Falls, in north central Montana.

Barley and lentils from the Lasilla farm are sold through Timeless Foods, and are available in natural food markets and online.
