Why Organic?
We don't think that applying poisonous or synthetic substances to the food we eat, or the soil we grow it in, is a wise or prudent practice. Organic farming involves not only the avoidance of toxic substances in the growing process, but also the ongoing practice of naturally enriching both the soil and ecosystem, thereby helping to create healthier, more nutritious natural foods. Although not certified USDA Organic, we meet or exceed all the USDA National Organic Program standards.
Why Seeds?
As more of our seed heritage is lost through hybridization and genetic engineering, we feel strongly about our work to protect and enhance open pollinated varieties of seed that have stood the test of time and taste. As climate anomalies increase, we are working to produce better drought, heat, and cold resistant varieties of heirloom corn and bean seed. It is very satisfying work as we continue to build upon and expand the work of other small scale, dedicated, specialized, plant breeders.
Our Pledge
We value the trust our customers bestow on us when they buy our farm produced seed, and dried bean products. Because we wish to maintain and enhance that trust, we have pledged to manage our farm in the most sustainable and ecologically healthy manner in order to guarantee the highest quality and safest seed, and food beans for your own use.
We welcome our customer's questions and farm visits.

Seed & Plant Section

Pole beans save valuable garden space, don't fall over so they limit spoilage as the pods don't touch the ground, easier to pick as most stooping and bending is eliminated, and consistently outyield bush varieties.
Black & White Lima Bean (pole type- vigorous climber, high yielding, drought resistant, very tasty (I)
Christmas Lima Bean (striking crimson & white color, pole type-vigorous climber, truly giant size, yet delicious dry bean (I)

NOTE: With some pole bean varieties, we have harvested approximately 200 beans back per bean seed planted (measured by weight). Requires good soil with lots of organic matter worked in for best results and highest yield. (I=Indeterminate - D=Determinate variety) The determinate varieties will still lightly reflower and produce a second crop if given adequate moisture.
