Bean: Calypso

A reliable and prolific producer, compact (up to 15”) bush type bean plant. 4-5 beans per pod. 70-90 days. Open pollinated. Very distinctive black and white halves with one or two black dots in the white area. Also called the Orca or Yin-Yang bean with an uncannily similar appearance to the Chinese symbol. The dry beans double in size when cooked and keep their firm texture. All of our plants are grown right here on our farm in Hendricks county without any chemical intervention. Seeds saved from plants grown locally will grow and produce better then plants grown in foreign environments with different soil, weather and moisture then what we have here. All of the seed that we grow and sell are from non-hybrid heirloom varieties that are all non gmo and open pollinated. All of our seed saving work is done by hand without machines so you will get some plant material and chaff in with the seed. All seed packets have been made from recycled magazines. Approximately 25 seeds per packet.
