The Local Bean Share

The Details

We work with several community partners and friends to offer a convenient pickup location near you.

Bean Share Member Price: $40 per seasonal box

A la Carte Price: $45 per seasonal box (one time purchase of our seasonally selected beans)

What you get:

• Four seasonal pickups: December, March, June, and September. Your first share will be in December 2026 (after the 2026 harvest!)
  
• Cancel or skip pickups, or just buy an a la carte seasonal box (though you don't get the member price)
  
• Six 1 lb bags at each pickup, lovingly selected by the Buttermilk bean team
• Varieties range from pantry staples to uncommon heirlooms, each with unique cooking qualities to discover.
  

Worried you might get too much leguminous goodness to handle? Properly harvested and dried beans (like ours!) stay fresh and tasty in your pantry for at least a year. Our retail-style bean bags make great gifts as well.

You will also receive fun varietal lore, cooking tips and more via a seasonal bean dispatch - we are serious bean nerds and love to swap bean stories and favorite recipes!
