We are shipping all orders prior to August 28th as quick as we can, though your seeds may not arrive ’til October. Thanks for your patience and grace!

So delicious, beautiful and easy to grow, we fell in love with Gaia the moment our dear friend Owen of Annapolis Seeds in Nova Scotia shared a handful of these magical seeds with us. Each glossy seed is a yin-yang of moss green and ebony! In hot summers and cold, in wet summer and dry Gaia always thrives, surrounding us with abundant melt-in-your-mouth pods that we savor fresh as well as freeze for the long winter ahead. If you miss Gaia’s relatively wide harvest window, you’re in for a treat: you’ve scrumptious beans to savor all winter and seed to sow again next season!
