History of Beans
Beans were one of the first foods that were gathered and prepared by humans. Black beans were first consumed in Mexico and South America about 7,000 years ago. For 1000s of years, beans have been a staple food in Peru and southern Mexico. Because the Indian tribes of central and south America traded with other tribes, beans gradually spread over the Americas.
Around the world, beans are a diet staple. Beans offer high proteins to people who do not eat animal protein in sufficient quantities.
Admiral Perry Navy Beans
Admiral Perry Navy Beans were a new growing adventure for Weatherbury Farm for 2022. Officially known as ISB 2884-4, we have decided to call the beans “Admiral Perry Navy Beans” to honor Western PA’s naval hero who led American Forces to a decisive naval victory at the Battle of Lake Erie.
Because of their long storage life, great nutrition and low cost, the U.S. began issuing beans (eventually called navy beans) in the 19th century as standard rations for sailors on their warships.
After harvesting, our beans are cleaned in three or four separate operations.
