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!

High-yielding bush bean producing shelling beans of a beautiful matte white color. They were given to us by an Iroquoian collector, but we were not able to retrieve its origin. The variety is mentioned in an old New York catalog, but it is described as a climbing variety. We do no have further informations. A rarity!

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!

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.

Ancient variety with late maturity.
The pods are long, around 15 cm, and green with purple strikes. The beans are small, with grey-brown marks, and have a subtle hazelnut taste.
This bean comes from the Old Continent, where it was widely grown, but has since adapted to Quebec's growing conditions.

Well-appreciated for its ornemental value with its immaculate white flowers. These flowers also attract hummingbirds, just like scarlett runner beans. The very large bean can be eaten once removed from the pods; it is used to make cassoulet. Rumor has it that there might even be a 'Soisson Bean Companion Brotherhood' in France.
Rare.

Green bush bean, with small round and sweet pods. A delight! This variety was found on a trading table at a Seedy Saturday event in Frelishburg, QC, in 2013. The name seems ancient, and it is not listed on any of the list of seed saving organizations in either Canada nor the U.S. Limited quantities. VERY RARE.
If someone has any additional informations on its origin, please share it with us. It it one of our favourites, and we are dying to get to know it better!
Addendum: In November 2016, we found a mention of a Dutch Princess bean in the "New-Zeland Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science /Experimental Agriculture" of March 1978. The origin of the bean is, unsurprisingly, Dutch. It seems it was named by the seed saver William Damn Seeds, who sells an improved version of a Dutch Princess bean. We also found a Dutch Princess bean mention in a research center from... Tanzania, in Arusha, (Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT)) in 1972. To be continued...

This bean comes from Romania. It was given to me by an old gardener from a community garden. He emigrated to Canada after the war and brought this bean with him, more than 50 years ago.
He prefers to eat the Fideluta half-dry, as shell beans, when the seeds are still young but already big in size.
Delicious in cassoulet stew.
Pkt : 25 seeds.

Climbing bean, bearing long yellow pods and large white beans. Its name comes from the fact that the pod doesn't have any strings, making it easier to shell and cook them. Delicious in soups and stews!

Dwarf green bean with small, delicate pods and golden brown beans. There are 5 to 6 beans per pods. Gives early and abundant yields. It is supposedly from the Nez Perce Tribe.
Maintained during generations by the Denny family in Idaho (1930), this bean will grow runners of about 3 feet that can either be tutored or left on the ground.
Can be eaten either as green or dry beans.
