Its taste is well-balanced, it does not crack and offers abundant harvests. Its origins have not be retraced, but it is considered very rare amongst seed producers.

Viney plants can be grown on the ground like a bush bean, but would probably benefit from growing on some support. Very productive of 4 to 5 inch oval green pods that are lightly streaked with purple. 4 to 6 small seeds per pod.
The origin is unsure but, according to Fruitition Seeds, seeds were traded at the Common Ground Fair in Maine, USA, in 2003. We obtained them from a seed swap in Ontario.

On top of that, once the grains have been harvested, the remaining stems can be combined to form a compostable broom.

The Ferland Family bean is a yellow, flat, climbing heirloom bean, saved by René Paquet of Seeds of Diversity.
Originating from Saints-Anges, they were handed to Mr. Gérard Parent in 2001 by Mrs. Carmelle Boily Ferland (1916-2015), who received them from her parents, Cleophas Boily et Demerise Turmel. According to Mrs. Paquet, who then received them from Mrs. Parent, they date back to before 1900.
The pods can be harvested fresh, even when pretty ripe, or as dry beans.

As the Jesuit house of Sillery in Quebec City undertook renovations, the gardener started to worry about a garlic bunch that had been growing there for years. He saved a few bulbils and offered them to Seeds of Diversity Canada.
When we tried it for the first time, we were quite surprised to see that the small bulbils had given a large white bulb on the first year, and even flowered in September! The flowers were also full of little garlic sprouts. Moreover, this garlic can multiply, growing numerous cloves around the main white bulb.
Unknown name, obscure origins, this variety is full of mystery. We have only started getting to know it, but we love what we are discovering. Please share!

This variety bears large red fruits, which can range in weight from 1.5 to 2 pounds (!!!) and have an irregular shape just like Mémé de Beauce. Their flesh is a pinkish red and is juicy and with a delicious well-balanced taste.
The seeds of this variety were sent to us by Mrs. Jacinthe Roy. Her neighbor, Mrs. Pierette Latreille-Binette (born in 1934 and therefore 85 years old in 2020) couldn't tend to her garden anymore as she was starting to have less energy. Pierette gave the seeds to Jacinthe, telling her how this variety had been grown from generation to generation by the family's women, in the family garden. It was their pride, and they took great care in saving the seeds from the nicest and biggest tomatoes from year to year. As there was no one left in the family able to keep the tradition going, we are taking over and sharing this variety with all of you to keep it alive.
Mrs. Latreille-Binette got her seeds directly from her mother, Mrs. Marie-Rose Lefebvre (born in 1895, died in 1995), who obtained them from the mother of her mother, Mrs. Agnès Castonguay (1860-1948). And guess what, she also got them from her own mother. Tomatoes were first introduced in Quebec around 1860, so this variety is probably a direct descendant of the first tomatoes that landed on Quebec dining tables. Originally, tomatoes come from Central America.
Please note that this variety shows some variability in terms of color: sometimes the skin is pink, somethimes it is red. You are encouraged to start saving the seeds of the best tomatoes by your own standards, and keep the selection going!
