Rancho Gordo Heirloom Bean Project: A Postcard from Mexico

Rancho Gordo founder Steve Sando interviews Yunuen Carrillo of Xoxoc in Hidalgo, Mexico. They talk about heirloom beans in the US and Mexico, working with indigenous farms, traveling and Yunuen lets slip the name of a new bean that's coming.

We have a booklet for you to download, featuring the items in the Rancho Gordo-Xoxoc Project.

Rancho Gordo although i know very much nothing about the business other than eating regular common beans sounds to me youre putting these towns on map and building a sustainable future in many senses.

Good to see ya Steve. Enjoy your beans up here in Alaska. That Stardust powder is also dandy - been using it on salmon.

Ms. Carrillo's Women's Health Initiative sounds like a wonderful project.

Are there any Mexican companies marketing/championing Mexican heirloom beans within the country?
