Collection: Beans & Legumes

We are thrilled to share a collection of Rancho Gordo Heirloom Beans.  Heirloom beans tend to have a lower yield and can be much more difficult to grow, but the pay off is in the unique flavors and textures that you don't find with bland commodity beans.

Press coverage of Rancho Gordo has been plentiful, no doubt in part due to the colorful beans themselves!  At the start of Rancho Gordo, beans seemed to be off of almost everyone’s radar. The press has been very generous in helping to spread the word...Recent articles on Rancho Gordo in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Chow, Sunset, Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Food & Wine, Country Home, San Francisco Chronicle, and Chile Pepper have all contributed to the groundswell of interest in heirloom beans and New World food. In January of 2008, Saveur Magazine listed Rancho Gordo at number two on their esteemed Saveur 100 list.
