Dieckmann Yellow-Green Soybean
This is a German variety also known as “Dieckmann Grungelbe”. Its history dates back prior to 1946 and may have been bred in Germany. I have found resources citing this variety as one trialed for suitability for soymeal, flour, grits … Continue reading
Jin Yue Huang Soybean
This is a historical variety from China. I obtained my initial seed stock from Joseph Simcox in 2016. Jin Yue Huang is a fairly compact variety reaching 35″ tall and stays upright. The plants mature late at over 130 days … Continue reading

Verdolino Beans
Verdolino is a landrace soup bean from the Sarconi, a municipality in the heart of the Lucaniai region of Italy. I obtained my seed from Italy in 2016. These beans are famous for their tender skins and excellent, delicate taste. … Continue reading
Del Burro Beans
I obtained seed for this variety from Italy. Burro means butter in Italian but these dry beans are not to be confused with what we call “butter beans” here in the US; those are lima beans. Del Burro is Phaseolus vulgaris, … Continue reading
