*Ark of Taste Heirloom*
A legendary northeast variety that has been shown for centuries to thrive in tough northern climates. Local stories claim this Prince Edward Island heirloom to have been a gift from the Passamaquoddy tribe to Joseph Clark, the first white child born in Lubec, ME. The rest of its legend comes from kitchens across northern New England where it is known to make a fierce pot of baked beans. The white and maroon speckled kidney-shaped beans hold up well to long cooking. Early and prolific in the field. Tried and true.
