Variety is the spice of life!
This is the most unusual grain I have eaten. They really are big fat kernels! They are rather chewy and textured. I will order them again as I am very happy to support small Organic growers.

Worth every penny!
Part of the Hopping John kit. AMAZING. Best Hopping John ever, and the rice all by itself is fragrant and has a great mouth feel and flavor. Definitely "dinner party quality."

Bean life made easy
I have rediscovered my love of beans through the Bean + Gran Club!
Two heirloom bean varieties and an accompanying grain broaden my legume horizons and provides many"complete protein" meals for the better part of a month. If the grain in the shipment isn't something I want, I can drop the grain and add an additional bean!
Having these bean varieties delivered to my door also means I can learn which varieties I enjoy the most. When I need more beans outside of the monthly shipment, I can order them a la carte from FOODOCRACY. It's a great and convenient way to have a steady supply of marvelous beans in my pantry.
There is also the added bonus of being able to add products from the website to the subscription box without increasing the shipping cost! I recently took advantage of this to add a short-term item to my shipment.
Highly recommend!

Outstanding! Velvety Texture and Incredible Flavor!
I used a bag of these beans to make "Doug Rodriguez's Black Bean Soup." The recipe came to me via the amazing cookbook, "Soup" by Barbara Kafka. I make a range of different Black Bean Soups based on my mood. The Doug Rodriguez recipe is perfect for Heirloom Beans. It's a short and simple list of ingredients that allows the beans to shine. And boy do these beans to that. They are velvety and tender, but hold their shape. They cooked relatively quickly, even for new crop beans. Delicious and delectable. Buy theses beans and seek out this soup recipe.

Excellent flavorful peppers
Delicious dried peppers full of flavor. A quick, light toasting releases deeper flavor. Highly recommended.

Bayo Beans
I used these in a vegetable noodle soup. These remained the perfect firmness and had a nice interior softness. I would highly recommend for any bean recipe.
