Product Description
Early Mohawk Beans
3,78 $
This bush variety is very productive and, even more notably, gives very early yields. A regular harvest as soon as the beans are ready will stimulate further yields. This bean can be eaten as a green bean, and as a dry bean. The mature beans are creamy white with beautiful pink spots.
We have found numerous mentions of this bean in documents dating from the early 19th Century, but its popularity seems to have declined in the 20th Century.

Shrubby dwarf variety that grows rosy-lilac flowers and light green pods. Can be eaten as green or dry beans.
This variety was gifted to us by Mr. René Paquet. He received it from Gérard Parent, from Saint-Joseph-de Beauce, who himself got it from Gabrielle Roy, from Saint-Jules. It's at the turn of the century, more precisely in 1914, that the Boucher family started growing them. Where they got it from, we might never know!

Hardy climbing bean, can reach up to 12 foot in height. Tender green pods, sweet and somewhat flat beans. High-yielding. Usually grown for its beige, chocolaty-brown striped beans, but can also be eaten as green beans.
Climbs so high that our tutors couldn't support it and got knocked down by the weight at the end of the season.
Originally grown by the Kahnawake Iroquoian First Nations (Quebec). One of the most beautiful beans we grow.

Climbing green bean, American heritage. It can eaten fresh as a green bean, or dry in soups and stews. We use it to make 'em good ol' maple syrup beans. This bean is part of the Ark of Taste of SlowFood USA.
As the story goes, the bean was retrieved from the, you guessed it, craw of a wild turkey. The said bird had been hunted down by an Afro-American slave in the 1800s. However, little additional information about the turkey remains.
Rich taste, creamy texture.

Dwarf bean variety that produces a seed halfway between pea and fava bean. According to the Potager d'Antan : « It was still being cultivated in 1999 by a 80 year old man from Lotbinière, Monsieur Laliberté, who confirmed us the plant was unique in Canada. (...) Given by Laliberté's son to Antoine D'Avignon, Seeds of Diversity guardian angel. Antoine passed away in 2003. His sister, Mme. Gisèle D'Avignon, gave us the seeds. » Delicious in pea soup, a traditional meal in the province of Quebec in the past century. This variety is very rare and is considered endangered.

The name comes from its unique black and white markings, strikingly similar to those of the aquatic mammal (Orcinus orca). The beans are harvested once the pods are fully dry.

This yellow climbing bean is very vigorous and produces long yellow pods that are delicious eaten fresh, and are not fibrous.
The man who shared them with us saved the seeds of his bush beans year after year until, to his surprise, he noticed they were turning into climbing beans! He then named them Daroi. We were impressed by their quality and so we decided to share them with you.

This bush bean, meant to be eaten dry, was shared with us by Mr. Vachon at a Seedy Saturday, in 2017.
He told us that his great-grandfather, Champlain Vachon, lived in Abitibi, QC, on Abenaki land. Did he obtain those beans from them? Regardless, the Vachon family has been growing them ever since, handing it down from father to son. Very similar to Early Mohawk beans.

Golden yellow pods, long et thin. Very productive and stable. Comes from France and, before that, Algeria. The more you harvest, the more it will yield, over a long period. What makes this bean stand out aside from its taste is how its pods remain tender on the plant over many days, easing the work of those who don't have the time for daily harvests. The beans are elongated and deep black. A mentioned above, outstanding taste.
This type of beans were introduced in France in the 1840s as 'Alger Beans' (Haricot d'Alger), since they allegedly came from Algeria. From this black bean gene pool, the French bred new varieties such as Beurre de Rocquencourt, a town near Versailles.

Very vigorous climbing green bean, grows deep purple flowers and long striped pods. These pods can be eaten fresh. Once dry, the beans are striped too, dark grey on a paler backdrop. Please note that the hilum is not located at the centre of the bean, as it is not symmetrical. This gives the impression that the bean has been crushed once dry.
The Seeds of Diversity organization as listed this variety as very rare. It is believed to come from the Mennonite people from the Waterloo region in Ontario.
