39. Living in Santa Barbara - Abalone Farming with The Cultured Abalone

Santa Barbara is a place where you can see exactly where your food comes from, meet the people who raise it, and explore the vibrant world of sustainable agriculture. One of our hidden gems is The Cultured Abalone, a clean, sustainable farm dedicated to raising abalone—a rare delicacy prized in many cuisines. With wild abalone harvesting banned in California for decades, farming is now the only way to enjoy this culinary treasure, and The Cultured Abalone is one of the leading farms in the U.S. In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Devin Spencer, the hardworking general manager of the farm. We’ll dive into what makes abalone so special, its nutritional value, and how you can experience this incredible farm through their weekend tours.
