Grown by: Chris Capaul
Region: Sacramento Valley
Practices: Soil-boosting rotations, supports healthy watersheds, natural weed control

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.

Great beans

Made bean soup

Excellent!

We made the butter beans today seasoned with onion,, garlic, thyme, preserved lemon and Parmesan rind in the instapot (required a couple minutes longer than the 28 suggested). We served them over braised collard greens. Excellent!

Indian-spiced baked Baby Butter beans

I soaked the dry beans overnight, then put them in a small Dutch Oven, covered the beans with mushroom/bone broth, spiced with dried garlic, dried onion, paprika, chile powder, touches of Garam Masala, dried spearmint, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, and dried Shiitake granules, and baked at 225 F, covered, for five hours. Makes tender, savory beans with a delicious bean broth. Also works well with Greek Gigante beans or, really any other beans.
