"These days only a few New England farms still produce dry beans.
I learned to grow beans in Central Maine, and at the same time began collecting unique local varieties from farmers that had been growing them for generations, said Charley Baer of Baer's Best beans.
"Our farm produces around 20 varieties of heirloom and specialty
beans each year. As a small farm we can harvest each type at peak maturity and quality. Our crop is always fresh harvest and cooks
quickly, without the need for presoaking."
Beans have a long shelf life, so make sure you get all you need.

bags, boot liners and fiber for spinning.

kits, hand knitted hats, and potholders.
