Old-world flavor meets Southern resilience.
This treasured German heirloom, brought to the Carolinas by Dutch settlers, delivers rich, nutty, buttery flavor in every tender 4–5" pod. Grown for generations across Appalachia and the Deep South, Mountaineer combines the yield of a pole bean with the ease of a bush bean, producing compact vines that thrive with or without support.
•     Stringless when young — perfect for fresh eating or snap beans
•     White seeds when mature — ideal for drying, soups, and canning
•     Heat-tolerant and drought-resilient — bred for Southern summers
•     55 days to harvest — fast, reliable, and vigorous
Whether you’re planting a backyard row or a full trellised bed, Mountaineer offers old-fashioned flavor with modern performance. Its pods hold texture beautifully in jars, making it a favorite for canners and homesteaders alike.
