Beans

Written By Heather Chapman

Beans from Durham Region are a farm-fresh staple, offering a variety of options to suit every palate and dish. Crisp green beans are perfect for steaming or tossing into stir-fries, while dry beans such as kidney, navy, and black beans provide a hearty, protein-packed base for soups, stews, and salads. Grown during the warm months and harvested at their peak, local beans deliver unmatched flavor and quality.

Whether you’re shopping at a farm market or picking them fresh from a U-pick farm, these versatile legumes bring the best of the season to your table while supporting sustainable local farming.
