4 Benefits of Buying Beans Direct From The Farm

21st Century Bean was formed in 1998 as a farmer-owned processing cooperative, and farmers have always been at the heart of our operation. As we’ve grown, we continue to provide beans straight from the farmer’s field to your family’s table.

Support Local Farmers

Our business model is created to support farmers, and we believe that by supporting farmers, we can provide you with the best quality product. When you buy a package of beans in your grocery store, you have no idea where they were grown or how far they traveled to get to you. When you choose to buy from us, you literally know the name of our growers — meet them here! Your money is going to support their farm, families, and community.

More Variety

Did you know that there are about 40,000 bean varieties in the world? Only a fraction are mass-produced for regular consumption, and even fewer of those varieties ever make it to your average grocery store shelf. While we don’t stock 40,000 varieties, we do have more variety than you’ll find elsewhere!

Higher Quality

When you buy direct from farmers, you’re getting a higher quality product that’s spent less time on a truck or in a warehouse. This means your food is fresher and better tasting, because light, oxygen, and temperature fluctuations that occur in transit have been minimized. Ordering from 21st Century Bean is about as close as you can get to harvesting from your own garden, and it’s part of what makes our beans the best!

Grown on American Soil

We know our farmers, and they’re hard-working Americans growing the best product. You can meet our farmers, and they live and work in Kansas and Colorado. When you buy American-made products you’re supporting American-made businesses and helping strengthen our nation. More so, you can trust that your product has traveled as little as possible to get to your table, ensuring a higher quality product.
