Jacob’s Cattle beans are an heirloom variety with a beautiful white and rust toned mottled pattern. Said to have earned its name from its resemblance to spotted Hereford cattle, we also think they look much like our herd of Shorthorns. Loved for its versatility in soups and stews, or as a stand alone dish, these large beans hold up well after long cooking.
From Meadowlark Organics: "Pick through beans carefully! The quality of beans we grew in 2024 was our best yet, but for a few reasons out of our control, we saw more "foreign material” make it into the combine. It’s important to pick through these beans for any small rocks and bits of soil that have snuck past our cleaners. We are working on adding sorting machines that can clean the beans more effectively in years like this. In the meantime we thank you for your understanding!"
