Ever wonder what the difference between wax and green beans is? Simple: the color. Wax beans are green beans with none of the chlorophyll pigment which plants used to trap sunlight. Despite the color difference, this summer variety has the same great taste: fresh, sweet, and snappy. Its color holds up better when cooking longer, making them a great choice for slow braises or stews. If stew sounds too heavy in this weather, show off their golden color in a vibrant Salad Niçoise. Or go fancy! Blanche and serve almondine; it’s like eating a bowl of French gold.

Vineland, NJ

The Landisville Produce Co-operative was started in 1914 and today is oldest operating agricultural co-operative in the United States. They represent a network of over 40 local growers who have been selected based on their continued quality and reliability. Their growers provide the co-op with product availability and, in turn, Landisville provides them with a sales and distribution venue. They also support their growers by providing point of sale displays and trade show support.
