This week we will be at market with our certified organic beans in the following varieties:
Black Turtle – Common black bean with a thick skin and a meaty texture.
Hidatsa Red – Similar to a kidney bean but with a slightly nutty taste, these beans are good in salads, chilis, soups or served with grains.
Jacob’s Cattle – Big and meaty, taste & texture of new potatoes, traditional baked beans, chili.
Marrow – Plump, soft white beans that soak up the flavors of whatever you cook them with. Great soup beans.
Medley – A random assortment of our beans that is great for soup. Also beautiful!
Pinto – Earthy flavor, great in Mexican cooking, falls apart under long cooking. Also have a limited supply of split pintos for $1/pound.
Tiger Eye – Rich, hearty flavor, with a smooth texture and tender skins.
Zebra – Smooth, creamy texture, full-bodied flavor, good all-purpose bean.
We plan to take freshly ground corn meal and fine grits/polenta from our Wapsie Valley certified organic, non-GMO corn, and perhaps a bit of our wool.
Please email me with any special requests or bulk orders.
