Lunar Rhythm Gardens is an organic farm in Janetville, in the Kawartha Lakes, where a farmer who grew up on the land has worked the fields since 2008, with draft horses alongside the tractors. Beans are one of the pantry staples the farm sells beside its vegetables.
Jacob's Cattle is an heirloom bean with speckled red and white markings, a rich, nutty flavour and a creamy texture that holds up in slow cooking. Soak the beans overnight, then use them in chili, soups, stews and baked beans as the nights turn cool.
