Southern Wisconsin-based Doudlah Farm Organics grew these beans in harmony with sunflowers using a living trellis system (reminiscent of Jack and the Beanstalk!). This innovative method not only supports the climbing beans but also promotes biodiversity, enriches the soil, and shields the plants from harsh weather, resulting in exceptionally flavorful beans.
This project began in 2016 with breeder Ken Kmiecik's dedication to developing these beans from Spanish and French seedstock.

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.
