These beans were great in the Cook's Illustrated "quick" New England baked beans recipe. After cooking for 4+ hours, they held their shape and still had a satisfying, almost creamy texture in the center. If you're a dried bean fan (or even if you're curious to try them) give these a try! Best part is you don't need to soak them for as long as you would conventional grocery store beans since they're a bit fresher than what's typically on the shelves.
This is an heiloom variety that has been successfully brought back into production from some seed saving families in Maine.
**Please pick over these beans before cooking as they have been mechanically harvested and the occasional pebble may have jumped in the mix.**
These beans are grown by Morningstar Meadow farms in Glover, Vermont. Seth specializes in growing dry beans for us and does an excellent job on his hill farm. He learned much of what he knows from Jack Lazor at Butterworks Farm. Mentoring is a rich tradition up here in Vermont.
