Organic Bean Seed

Each 1/4 pound packet of our Certified Organic Bean Seed has approximately 350 seeds, which plants a 100-foot row and produces approximately 80-pounds of fresh beans.


Bean seeds can be planted directly into the garden soil when the danger of damaging frost is past. A garden seeder makes short work of direct seeding. If you decide to get a jump on the season by starting your bean seed indoors, they should be started 2 weeks before your transplant date. Bean seeds germinate when soil temperatures range between 60-95°F. Under the correct conditions, it takes 6-10 days for the bean seed to sprout.


In order to grow the healthiest; best tasting beans, the optimum pH level of your soil should be 6.0. A soil tester will take the guess work out of determining your pH levels. Watch our green bean video to see how easy it is to pick green beans.


All of our Bean seeds are OPEN-POLLINATED unless otherwise specified as a HYBRID. All of our organic been seeds are non-GMO!
