Product Description
Early Mohawk Beans
3,55 $
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.

Orca beans are a bush variety known to have existed in the Caribbean about 400 years ago. 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. They will be a great addition to your stews or your indoor decoration!

Climbing bean, ornamental and edible. Kids love to open up the green pods to find the big bicolored beans. Covers up lattices, fences, and gazebos with pretty white and scarlet red flowers. Hummingbirds can't resist them. In the garden, beans fix nitrogen in the soil, thus helping the growth of other vegetables.

Bush bean that yields beautiful and tender green pods, more round than flat. Can be eaten as green beans or dry beans. The bean is white with a black and red spot, on one side only. A unique asymmetry. The dried beans, when cooked, are surprisingly sweet. High yielding. The variety potentially dates back to 1986, when it was bred in the U.S.

This variety was brought by the Cherokees during their journey on the Trail of Tears. Following the Treaty of New Echota, the American government decided to enforce the Indian Removal Act and to strip Native Americans from their land to offer it to white colonizers. Ensued imprisonment and tribe deportation to other territories, to the West of the Mississipi.
Most of the deportees were displaced by boat, but 18,000 of them walked over 3,000 km. They started their journey in October 1838 and arrived to Fort Gibson in March 1839. Thorough the trip, 4,000 died because of winter's hardships. This is where the name Trail of Tears, or The Trail where they cried, comes form.

Rare, hardy and high-yielding variety. Once grown by Iroquoian people. The plant can reach up to 2 m in height, and has white and purple flowers. The pods can be eaten when still young as green beans.
Its name, skunk, refers to the gorgeous black and white marks characteristic of the beans. They can also, although more rarely, be entirely black. Their flat-shape is reminiscent of lima beans. Once fully ripe, they are ideal for soups. We have tried them for baked beans (fèves au lard) and they are delicious mixed with some Kahnawake Mohawk beans.
This bean was rediscovered by Chester in Vermont and saved by Gail Flagg from Fort Kent, Maine (U.S.).
Ideal for the Three Sisters, to be grown with the Canada Crookneck squash.

Wax bean originally comes from Algeria. Under the name Algiers Bean, it made its appearance in France in the 1840s. From then on, the French selected and developed many yellow wax beans with black seeds. The most famous one is the Beurre de Rocquencourt, named after a town near Versailles.

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.
