Mama Long Bean is a stunna!!! Dainty lil lilac blooms that call the plump bees to the yard, singing the praises of the soil, wind, rain, and earth—I’ve been waiting patiently to share these long delights with our farm family and friends.

These green noodles are delicious. Because they’re not true string beans, there’s no reason to snap and destring them. And best of all, a little goes a long way. Just a handful of 10 to 15 beans is enough for a stir fry. Add any combo of carrots, cabbage, maitake mushroom, bok choy… Whoever. Mmmmmm….. I can smell it just thinking about it. You hungry yet??

These long beans are just starting to come in, so we should have some bounty in about 2 weeks. Come meet us at the Watkins Park Urban Farm Incubator market. Might even have a few bundles for sale this weekend.
