You would think these pink beans would be a good substitute for the small, pink Santa Maria Pinquitos, but they're not. King City Pinks are closer to Buckeye; dense but not stodgy, they have a thin skin and produce a rich bean broth. We are in love.

Meet Peter Jacobsen () We’ve known Peter for years and this collaboration is a dream come true. Our beans were first grown in Napa and now we are coming home. This isn’t for production, but it’s a vital part of the chain.

Steve likes to start out his dinner parties with a nice shot of hot bean broth, this time it's half bean broth, half chicken stock and toppings of raw onion and lemon.

Classic white Navy beans are one of our commonly requested items. Our Alubia Blancas are similar in appearance, but far superior in flavor and texture. You can use them in all kinds of cooking, from Mexican to Tuscan to even classic Yankee baked beans. One of our bestsellers. How are you using them?

Steve talks with Katie Marie Blackwell Martin at Davidson College. Asking about sweet bean dishes is one of the most common requests we get. Here is a surprising answer for a wild dessert. SAVE YOUR BEAN BROTH!

At a recent bean dinner hosted by Farm to People(), Chef Camila Rinaldi () created a truly inspired butter featuring our Zipper Cream Peas. We were blown away. We're imagining this slathered on fresh, hot cornbread, but don't hesitate to use it daily, everywhere. The protein is almost tripled if this is of interest, and even the fiber gets a nod. Fine and dandy, but it's the flavor that will make you happy.

Runner beans (Phaseolus coccineus) like Scarlet Runners and Ayocotes have gorgeous flowers. When the stars align, they reseed or continue growing throughout the winter. This is our test plot in Napa and we've got flowers and pods already.

Simple lentils can be the best lentils. These French-style Green Lentils were cooked with carrot and potato in just water with aromatics. We had sausages and roast chicken but these were cooked apart in order to really appreciate the lentils.

Epazote is an essential herb (or w**d) for Mexican cooking but unless you grow it yourself or forage near traintracks, it can be elusive. Dried commercial epazote is almost worthless but on those occasions when you have it fresh, here’s a smart way to make epazote salt to enjoy the flavor all the time. Rancho Gordo likes Jacobsen Salts () and in this case, the Pure Kosher Sea Salt seems like the best bet.
