From Our Garden to Yours


These heirloom Purple Podded Pole Beans have been a staple in our Northern Michigan homestead garden for years, and now we’re sharing them with fellow gardeners!
If you’ve never grown purple beans, you’re in for a treat.
These beautiful climbing beans produce deep-purple pods that practically glow in the summer sunshine. They’re productive, easy to harvest, and delicious fresh or cooked.

I Haven’t Bought Bean Seeds Since 2014!
Yep, you read that right! I haven’t purchased bean seeds since 2014.
Every year, I grow my beans, enjoy the harvest, and save enough seeds to plant again the following spring. Year after year, those same seeds keep providing food for our family.
Think about that for a minute. One packet of seeds can become years and years of food if you learn how to save them!
And guess what? You can learn to do this too!
Seed saving isn’t nearly as complicated as people think. In fact, beans are one of the easiest crops to start with.
I share how to grow, harvest, and save your own seeds over on my website, so you can learn to become a producer, not just a consumer.
Buy seeds once. Learn to save them. Grow food for years to come!
Growing Food Is Growing Independence
One of my favorite things about growing heirloom vegetables is knowing I can save seeds and plant them again next year.
You don’t have to purchase new seeds every season. Learn to grow, harvest, and save your own!
That’s what becoming a producer instead of just a consumer is all about.
From our garden to yours, happy growing!
