Organic Good Mother Stallard
$11.95
With a bean broth that is to die for and a rich, meaty taste, Good Mother Stallard is a favorite among heirloom bean fans. These knock out burgundy and white beans are one of the few that retains their color through cooking. Named for Carrie Belle Stallard of Wise County, VA they date back to at least the 1930s. They seem to have been a family heirloom passed down through many generations and shared regionally before seeds were donated to the Seed Exchange in 1981. These are a favorite for soups and stews due to that delicious bean liquor they give off, but we also love them in an heirloom bean pot pie or just a simple steaming pot of brothy beans for a cold winter night.
ABOUT THE FARMER
Blue House Farm grows drop dead gorgeous beans from the gorgeous, fertile land in Pescadero and San Gregorio, California. Ryan Casey became interested in farming in college while taking agriculture courses. After completing an apprenticeship at the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems and working on several farms, he decided to start an organic farm. The farm started in 2005 on 2 acres and has steadily grown to over 75 acres in production. Farming in two different microclimates allows Blue House Farm to grow over 50 types of certified organic farm products. Among the lettuce, tomatoes, herbs and peppers Blue House Farm grows excellent organic beans.
