Originally from the tropical and subtropical regions of southeastern Asia and China, yardlong beans are cultivated in many areas of the world and are a staple ingredient in many Oriental dishes. Despite the name, yardlong beans aren't precisely a yard long. The average size of yardlong beans is around 18 inches. Though yardlong beans taste similar to green beans, their texture is distinct. Unlike green beans, which can taste palatable steamed or boiled, yardlong beans become waterlogged and bland when treated with water. The beans are best cooked with oil: sauteed, stir-fried, or deep-fried, their flavor intensifies and their texture remains tight and juicy.
Located in Honey Brook, PA the Harvest Collective is a group of farmers that all grow and contribute to our food system we're working hard to develop. Initially, we first met Reuben Riehl in the fall of 2012 and began talking about this crazy idea of him supplying the CSA. Now, two and a half years later, Reuben and eight of his neighbors are growing crops, making cheese, and raising chickens, beef, pork, duck, and lamb for the CSA. The group is only open to growers that care greatly for their land and take pride in their natural growing methods. While they are not certified organic, they do everything in their power to raise their crops and animals in the healthiest way possible.
We are a network of family farms dedicated to providing wholesale farm-fresh products as well as connection for your customers and the food they eat. We ARE your local farmers.
