A unique heirloom variety originating from the regions of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, its’ name is truly indicative of its history. Said to have been discovered in the craw(crop) of a wild turkey in the mid-1800s, this dual-purpose pole bean produces a large crop of versatile beans which are delicious when young, green, and snappy, and can also be used in cooking when allowed to mature and dry on the vine where they develop a sweet, rich, buttery and meaty taste and texture. The seeds are known for their beautiful, frosted brown and tan appearance.
