Super tasty beans

I love the creaminess and different taste notes of the beans I’ve purchased from you. Those baby butter beans cooked with a little ham rocked… on to the next; the organic Bayo’s

Not tender!

The pkg said soaking wasn't required but this was a grave mistake on my part. The outside of the bean remains tough.

We’re sorry to hear the beans didn’t get tender as expected! We encourage skipping the soak to make cooking beans a little more accessible and time-friendly, but we also know that every kitchen is different. Water hardness, acidic ingredients (like tomatoes or vinegar), and even altitude can all affect how beans cook. If soaking works better for you, we absolutely support that - your method should suit your rhythm and preferences.

Speckled Bayo Beans

Delicious, tender and creamy with a lovely flavor. My Italian family used to grow them in Humboldt County and I’m so glad to know I can get them from you. They are a very special bean from my childhood memory. My Nonna, used to make large pots of vegetable bean soup the Italian way.

A beautiful & Delicious Bean

I have cooked the Orca's twice now & love them! I used the Feast for the Future brothy beans recipe. Fabulous!
