About Rancho Gordo

It’s no secret that I’m a bean fanatic. I love beans more than mere words can express. Rancho Gordo is one of my most favorite companies, combining their love of beans with a sincere integrity for agriculture and preserving heirloom seeds, they’re defiantly the guys to root for. A company that you can trust entirely—everything they do is amazing.

THE RANCHO GORDO-XOXOC PROJECT

These beans are the results of two companies working together to help small farmers continue to grow their indigenous beans in Mexico, despite international trade policies that seem to discourage genetic diversity and local food traditions.

These rare beans are grown using centuries-old methods and may contain small pebbles or other natural debris. Please clean them thoroughly before cooking!


Take a more traditional route and toss them in a pasta e fagioli (pasta fazool) or a minestrone soup. Because of their porous skin the bean broth becomes seriously thick and makes for an excellent sauce.
