ABOUT THE FARMER
Sacramento Valley has a long history of producing butter beans, which love its warmer climate compared to other California regions. Chris Capaul’s family has been growing diverse beans and vegetables since 1915 – in fact, he still has the original horse-drawn bean cutter! While bean production has declined and farms have gotten bigger through consolidation, Chris stands out as an innovator – perfecting his rotations of vine-type baby butter beans and rice, and preserving Speckled Bayo beans, a rare variety his father once grew. His careful growing methods nurture the land and produce beans far richer in flavor.
*Beans are at their prime within 2 years of harvest.

Fresh Beans = Last Year's Harvest! Don't worry—this is actually when beans are freshest. After fall harvest, they spend winter being carefully processed and are bagged fresh each spring. So 2024 beans in 2025 means peak freshness! We believe beans are best within 2 years of harvest (others say 3), ensuring you get the finest quality.
