Bright Spot Farm grows the Hannah Freeman bean seed for Yesterday we had the pleasure of hand delivering the 2023 seed harvest.
Hannah Freeman was a Lenni-Lenape woman who made baskets, worked seasonally in agriculture, traditional healing, and childcare, and travelled the Brandywine River Valley by foot where she lived primarily among European settlers.This seed, known more widely as Indian Hannah Bean, was grown and preserved by H. Ralph Weaver (1896-1956), who received them from the Webb family of Northbrook in Chester County. Weaver’s grandson, William Woys Weaver, has preserved this variety (along with thousands of culturally important heirlooms) and he explains that the Webbs ‘owned’ the land on which Freeman spent the final days of her life.
