Beans, Jacob's Cattle - 12 x 1 LB - Conventional - From Maine, Grown by Baer's Best

A New England staple whose origins have been tracked back to the US's colonial era, this bean was a once a baked bean recipe backbone before the canning industry abandoned it for more uniform beans. The origin story of this bean is still not 100% pinned down. Many attribute this variety to the Passamaquoddy tribe in Maine, some say it was brought over, others say it was a mix of both as it was a gift from the Passamaquoddy to a man named Joseph Clark. Despite the murkiness of this bean story, one thing is crystal clear - these beans make a delicious choice for baked beans or a hardy chili.
