Heirloom Beans

(Phaseolus vulgaris)

a half white/half black heirloom bean with an interesting in-yang design.

Orca

This bean is very early, disease resistant and productive. It is also one of the most striking beans that I have seen. Each oval seed is half black and half white in an interesting yin/yang design and is great for baking. A beautiful bean that is fun and easy to grow.

Ochre colored heriloom bean with maroon swirls

Pepa de Zapallo

(a.k.a. Tiger Eye) A beautiful bean originally from Chile. The large flattened kidney shape seed is an ochre color with maroon swirls. Some seed is maroon with golden specks. Rich and creamy texture. Excellent as a shelly bean or in chili and refried beans. This was one of my earliest beans this past summer and the pods dried very nicely on the plants without any disease problems or molding.

beige colored heriloom bean with dark stripes

Peregion

An heirloom bean from Oregon that can be used as a snap when small or as a dried bean later on. The small oval seed is beige with dark stripes and some seed is dark brown or black. The dried beans keep their color when cooked and are excellent as a soup bean or for baking. The plants produce quite a bit of runners and would do better with some support. Planting this bean at the base of corn stalks would be ideal. Very productive.

Polish Pea Bean

An old Polish heirloom that is very productive. The sprawling bush plants send out quite a few runners and produce many small green pods that are filled with tiny round white navy beans. Navy beans were also called pea beans at one time and are excellent for baking. A very productive bean that is delicious in homemade baked bean recipes.
