Nourishment for all
With every bag of beans we sell, we aim to deepen our connection to the food we eat and where it comes from.
The original plant protein
Despite the growing desire for plant protein in the US, beans in their purest form rarely get the love they deserve. But here's the truth– beans are the perfect food from a nutritional, planetary, and culinary perspective.
Nutritious for all human beans
As the seeds of a plant, beans are jam-packed with nutrients, containing all the protein, vitamins, and minerals needed for a healthy plant to grow. Because they are so high in fiber and protein, beans are the perfect food to keep you full and energized. Regularly eating your beans keeps your bones, heart, muscles, gut and brain happy and healthy.

Essential for climate-smart farming
Like all legumes, beans are what's known as "nitrogen fixers," which means they uniquely return this nutrient to the soil after other crops deplete it. Farmers worldwide grow beans in rotation with or alongside other crops because the benefits are endless: it boosts soil health, creates a diverse landscape for animals and insects, improves natural disease resistance, and increases productivity. Small but mighty!

Our farm partners are renegades in their field, addressing farming challenges in radically different ways and sticking to their values, even when it’s hard. Our sourcing criteria represents these shared values.
