Fat Goose Pole Bean, Heirloom, John Withee

Fat Goose Pole Bean - The yields are impressive! A pole beam used as dry primarily but can be eaten as a snap bean if harvested young. The beans are tan and are round, flat but thick. The vine grows around 6-8' tall and is a heavy producer. This bean is grown at Firefly Farm in our heirloom production garden. 

The origin of this bean comes from Seedsavers Exchange who received it from John Withee of Lynnfield, Massachusetts in 1981. We mentioned John Withee in out listings, like others seed collectors, to help show the work that was done. Johm received it from Dorotha Shortridge in the 1970's when she lived in Indiana.
