Jacob's Cattle bean, also known as Trout or Appaloosa bean, is a striking heirloom variety with a distinctive maroon and white mottled pattern. This bush bean matures in about 90-100 days and is prized for its hearty, rich flavor and creamy texture. Ideal for soups, stews, and baked beans, it retains its shape well during cooking. Jacob's Cattle beans thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, with plants reaching about 18-24 inches in height. These beans are not only delicious but also nutritious, high in protein, fiber, and essential minerals, making them a valuable addition to any garden.
I bought them for next year. Always happy with the seeds from migardener!
I've never grown these before so excited to try them next season.
Bought some more beans for my garden. These are great beans for direct sowing.
This bean variety was very prolific. I love to grow different dry bean varieties for mixed bean soups. This for sure was a tasty one and it holds up well to long cooking. Of course it's also very beautiful.
Excellent specimen! Arrived quickly and packaged very well. 100%sprouted!

Great fertilizer. Used for the first time last year for my fall bulbs and they were stunning and strong come spring. Planting another 250 bulbs this fall so came back for more bulb fertilizer. I also use the Trifecta. Can’t go wrong with any of Luke’s amendments.
Great germination and very prolific.
I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
