Description
An exciting find given to me by Jim Sweeney. Jim’s family is originally from Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia and Jim’s father always planted these beans who he got from his father, so this is a very old bean that has bean passed down through the generations. Jim’s father called them American Mohawk Bean and they have similar coloration to Jesse Fisk or Red Valentine Bean but are definitely a different variety. The beans are kidney sized and are purplish red with lighter speckles or mottling. Jim has been growing this variety in Lloydminster, AB for the last 10 years and it does very well in Alberta as well. The pods of this variety usually dry on the plant and then the beans are used in their dry state for baking.
