Maine Yellow Eye Bush Bean Seeds, Golden Wax Bush Bean, New England, White/Brown Seed
A cherished New England heirloom, Maine Yellow Eye beans offer a rich, creamy flavor often compared to cannellini or Great Northern beans—only better. Perfect for baked beans, hearty winter soups, or Southern-style dishes as a black-eyed pea alternative. They hold their shape beautifully when cooked, yet can be pureed into a smooth, dairy-free base for sauces, soups, and casseroles.
Originally developed in Kentville, Nova Scotia, this variety matures early and evenly. The tall, upright plants keep pods off the ground, making them ideal for hand or mechanical harvest—an excellent choice for market gardeners. While they can be enjoyed as fresh pods, the dry beans reach maturity in just 85 days.
