This pea variety was carefully preserved by Will Bonzai, in the United States. Few other varieties from the colonial era still exist today, although French colonizers did develop hundreds of pea varieties in their gardens which were well adapted to the North-East American climate. This is were the nickname 'Pea Soup', given by the English to the French, originated.
This variety is a landrace, meaning its peas are of different colors. They look like small pebbles coming straight out of a river, marbled and spotted. We genuinely think those are the most beautiful peas there is. They are ideal to make jewelry. Also adorable as legume in a salad.
Using a net or tutors can help with harvest. High-yielding.
Package: 30 seeds. RARE, PLEASE SHARE.

** CANNOT BE SHIPPED OUT OF CANADA **
Only available between July and November every year.
A true Quebec heritage treasure, Saint-Anne shallots is a perennial alliaceae. It effortlessly survives our Quebec winters, well-tucked under the snow cover.
It starts growing very early in the spring, and can be eaten at that point as green onions. Afterwards, it starts multiplying and the leaves begin to dry out. It should be harvested on June 24th, on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day. Then it should be left to dry completely indoors, in order to eat it as much as to replant it on Saint-Anne Day, on July 26th. It will start growing again and storing energy for the winter. When spring returns, it all starts again!
For more information, please visit (in French): 56 milles idées.
Package: 6 to 8 small shallots from the spring. Due to the risks of mail shipping, we prefer to send them early in the spring, when they still germinate easily. They must be planted as soon as received, either indoors in pots or outdoors if it is later than mid-May.

Heirloom variety introduced to the Saint Lawrence River Valley by French settlers in the 17th Century. It is still eaten today and makes delicious pea soup. High yielding plants. They will need trellising and can grow up to 1 meter tall. The Potager d'Antan reports this story : « According to an old European tradition dating back from the 15th Century, Hubertus, patron saint of hunters, was associated with the pea soup. To make a long story short, during his lifetime, in the 7th Century, Hubert went astray, hunted on Good Friday, and while pursuing a stag, he had a vision in which he saw the animal with a crucifix between its antlers and heard a voice enjoining him to lead a holy life. Hubertus later performed many miracles, evangelized pagans in distant countries, and erected temples dedicated to the Lord. He died on May 30, 727. His relics were translated on November 3, 743. His feast day is November 3 in Belgium and May 30 in France. In memory of Saint Hubert, European settlers in Quebec supposedly kept the name of this pea variety, used in the preparation of the « hunting soup ». For the complete story, visit the Potager d’Antan website. This variety is very rare and is considered endangered.

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.

This pepper variety originally comes from Japan. It gives a bountiful harvest of small wrinkled fruits, about 10 cm in length. Very productive, it will yield at least 25 peppers per plant. The red peppers (when ripe) are equally delicious if eaten earlier, when they are still green. They are mild and sweet but can be bit spicy, especially if dried. Compact plant, ideal for small gardens.
