Certified Organic Black Bean Burgers| Gluten-free. Vegan. Nut-free |

Garlic, rosemary and Teeny Tiny Spice’s British Curry are the driving flavors in this variety. Though organic black turtle

As with all of our products, these burgers are born on a countertop heaped high with vegetables, herbs, and grains

sourced from our farmer friends throughout the region.

and organic elements.

Organic Pellas de Fagioli “Pasta Balls”| Gluten-free. Vegan. Nut-free |

They’re not quite my Great-Grandma Constantino’s but I’ve not had a vegan alternative that left me as satisfied as these.

Using the same recipe as our black bean burgers we give these pellas a new shape and therefore purpose.

I mash them up with garlic marinara to make calzone filling, use ‘em like a meatball on pasta and have been known to throw them in a fresh baguette for a sub that’s sooo good.

Ingredients: *Black beans, *Carrots, *Onions, *Buckwheat flour, *Kale, *Sunflower oil, *Apple cider vinegar, *Garlic, Salt, ^Rosemary, ^Crushed red pepper, *Spices (including tumeric), *Cumin

Hummish| Gluten-free. Vegan. Nut-free |

Humm-ish is our version of the more commonly known, chickpea-based hummus. Since chickpeas don’t grow well in our neck of the woods we took some time to develop a bean

spread using regionally grown beans.

This localized take on an age-old recipe lends the same savoriness and texture to all the cuisines hummus is at home in. Seasonal varities available, please inquire when ordering.

Ingredients *Soldier and/or Yellow Eye beans, *Sunflower oil, *Apple cider vinegar, Salt.

Refried Pintos| Gluten-free. Vegan. Nut-free |

Here’s our take on this Latin American staple. Our refritos displace lard with locally grown and pressed sunflower oil,

and get a bit of acidity from organic apple cider vinegar from D. Miller Orchards in Southeastern Vermont.

These ingredients join organic toasted cumin seeds and sea salt to bring our organic pinto beans to the next level
