Rancho Gordo beans are grown in limited quantities to insure quality and more importantly, freshness. We don't think you should have to suffer ten year old supermarket beans. In general, we have between 20 and 30 varieties at any one time but as the seasons wears on, we do run out of some favorites.

The best way to see the individual varieties currently available and read their descriptions is to visit our online store. You can read about all the beans and see their photos without having to place an order. The list of heirloom beans is here.

If you are a farmers market customer and want a specific bean brought to the market, the best thing to do is to send an email as we don't bring all the beans all the time.

Please note: All the beans are heirloom varieties. You can plant the beans and you'll get the exact same bean. The yield on some of these heirlooms tends to be lower than generic beans but the payoff is in the flavor and texture.

The orgin of individual beans can be tricky but all Rancho Gordo beans are new world crops, meaning they are indigineous to the Americas. many of them are close to extinction. All of them are delicious and easy to prepare.
