Delivering sustainable agricultural solutions in Upper Marlboro and Beltsville, Maryland.
If you’ve ever stood in a grocery aisle questioning what’s really in your food — or felt the frustration of watching fresh produce spoil before you could use it — you’re not alone.
Maybe you're a parent trying to make healthier meals with limited time. Maybe you’ve struggled with chronic illness or fatigue and sensed that food might be part of the answer. Or maybe you're simply tired of overpriced “organic” labels that still leave you wondering how your food was grown.
We see you.
We’ve been you.
At Decentra.Farm, we believe food should nourish, not confuse. It should energize, not deplete. And most of all, it should be grown with care — for your well-being, your family, and the land that sustains us all.
With newfound health and a renewed spirit, Larry turned to the soil. He began growing real food using methods inspired by Mother Nature herself — minimal soil disturbance, no tilling, no chemicals, and no shortcuts, just efficient systems. A profound observation of Mother Earth and a commitment to growing in a way that honors her rhythms.
What began in a humble backyard, once called a “garden” but praised by neighbors as a “farm,” has now evolved into Decentra Farm. Built on two quarter-acre plots, it defies conventional farming scale while showcasing how powerful small, intentional agriculture can be. The goal isn’t to feed the masses but to nourish the few deeply and meaningfully, while playing our part in decentralizing our food system.
We don’t use pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, or any synthetic interventions. Our methods emulate natural ecosystems — leaves fall, compost builds, and life flourishes.
Serving the DMV region (Washington, D.C., Maryland, and parts of Northern Virginia), our produce is always local, always fresh.
From kale to Murasaki sweet potatoes, our produce isn’t just nutritious — it’s unique. Our premium greens mix, for example, works equally well in salads, stir-fries, or sautéed with your favorite protein.
We don’t compete. We contribute. Our focus is on adding value to our customers’ lives — not just their plates.
Health-conscious individuals, families looking to improve their nutrition, and everyone passionate about supporting local farms that help restore and regenerate our land's soil are all warmly invited here. Whether you're a busy parent seeking simple meal ideas or someone embarking on a wellness journey, you’re truly welcome.
Decentra Farm isn’t just a place where food grows; it’s a nurturing space where transformation takes place — from the soil to the soul.
Visionary Grower. Faith-Driven Healer. Community Educator.
Larry is the heart behind Decentra Farm — a farmer whose journey to the land was born from personal transformation and unwavering faith.
After being diagnosed in 2015 with life-threatening illnesses, including cancer, diabetes, and severe kidney damage, Larry’s life took a dramatic turn. Faced with a health crisis and seeking answers beyond conventional medicine, he turned inward — and upward — asking the Creator for guidance. The answer was simple but profound: “Eat My food.”
This moment changed everything.
Embracing a new lifestyle grounded in whole, unprocessed foods and mineral-rich nutrition, Larry experienced a remarkable recovery. As his health returned, so did his purpose — and Decentra Farm was born from that mission to heal, grow, and give back.
An Educator Turned Farmer
A Different Kind of Farmer
Larry isn’t chasing mass production. He’s cultivating intentional, ethical, soil-regenerating farming. At Decentra.Farm, no chemicals are used. The soil isn’t tilled. Instead, Larry models his practices after Mother Nature herself — letting leaves fall, compost form, and life regenerate naturally.
He doesn’t see other farmers and their farming methods as competitors, but as collaborators in a shared mission to feed communities real, healing food. His ultimate goal? To show others they, too, can grow — in health, in knowledge, and purpose.
“I’m not here to push food. I’m here to offer something meaningful — a way to eat better, live better, and reconnect with the source of life itself.”
– Larry, Founder of Decentra.Farm
