Native to North America, the Northeaster climbing bean stands out with its slender form and exceptional vigor. This heirloom variety, prized for its productivity, has been passed down through generations, contributing to bountiful summer harvests for gardeners here.

In the garden, its supple, climbing stem twines easily around supports, unfurling dense, dark green foliage that creates a slender and generous silhouette. Highly productive, it yields flavorful, long, and thin pods, ideal for those who love fresh vegetables for cooking or preserving.
