Friends, rather than selling and shipping seeds, we now share seeds as an embodied gift practice. 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! Learn how to receive seeds from us & here are our FAQs.
We love these long & exceptionally tender green beans! Organic Jade Green Bean is abundant & easy to grow with resistance to mosaic virus, bacterial brown spot & rust allowing her to thrive in a wide range of growing conditions, quickly adapting as our climates change.
Provider is a full-size green bean with average flavor; Tavera is a more petite French filet-style bean with exceptional flavor…and JADE is the best of both worlds, full-size with lovely tenderness and incredible flavor.

After trying so many bean varieties over the years, I can always rely on Jade to produce well and continue for weeks! Last season, due to no early hard frosts in my zone 5 central NY location, there were beans to be picked in mid October – a new record for me! The plants grow fast, are very healthy, and did I say that they produce a lot of beans? Great bean flavor and, even cooked from frozen, they are my absolute favorite. If I could grow only one variety, it would be Jade!
