"One time, I was so hungry, I ate the beans in a bean bag chair" - George Lopez

The history of beans is long and rich, with beans being one of the oldest cultivated crops in human history. They have been grown and consumed for thousands of years, with their origins traced back to several parts of the world.

Beans belong to the Fabaceae family, also known as the legume family. The most commonly cultivated beans are Phaseolus species, such as Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean), Phaseolus lunatus (lime or butter bean), and Phaseolus coccineus (runner bean).

Mark, from Garden Treasures Farm, who brings us many of the beans we offer, had a very small crop this year. It is a symbiotic relationship; we get incredible beans even when the supply is small.
