Also known as Tick Bean, Old-Time Brown Stick, and Leer Bean, Granny is an old, rare, pole-type bean collected from the Smoky Mountains of Cocke County, Tennessee and offered on th e Seed Savers Exchange by legendary seed saver, John Coykendall. Plants produce excellent yields of fat, slightly curved pods containing round, brownish-gray seeds. Coykendall reports that the variety was once common to the Smoky Mountain farmers of east Tennessee and was traditionally used for canning or later as a shelled dry bean. We cooked them up with some onions and salt pork and found them to be tender, flavorful and extra hearty. A great variety indeed! 70 days to harvest. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
