One of our favorites!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first evidence of domesticated cowpeas was found in central Ghana at an archaeological site that dates back 4,000 years. Across Africa, cowpeas are a main source of protein for people and livestock. Cowpeas traveled with enslaved Africans to the Americas during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. They have become a staple of Southern cuisine in the U.S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe initially received these seeds as a landrace from lovely landrace seedsman Joseph Lofthouse, who received them from Sage, a landrace seedswoman in Texas. Sage wears many other creative hats, including artist, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flowerweaver\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ephotographer,\u003c\/a\u003e musician, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/flowerweaver\/13672988544\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehummingbird whisperer\u003c\/a\u003e! Sage's climate in Texas is harsh. She and her fields have had to endure floods, extreme droughts, tornadoes, and wildfires. Natural selection due to these conditions has made her landrace cowpeas a true survivor. It is a beautiful mix of small peas in a stunning diversity of color, with some grey, some maroon, some black, and some tan seeds. This is by far the most prolific cowpea variety we've trialed for production. We love the humble and wholesome beauty of the seeds, and their dainty size lends well to quick-cooking. Our Texas transplant friends introduced us to \"Texas Caviar\"--what a wonderful dish to showcase these Texas cowpeas!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough cowpeas haven't really become all the rage in the Intermountain West, we believe it's high time! They're excellent nitrogen fixers, and they can be eaten at several stages. In the \"green bean\" stage they're delicious and a more crisp than Phaseolus beans. In the \"green\" stage, you can shell them and eat the peas like fresh favas without that pesky additional husk. Or, you can let the pods dry completely on the plant and harvest for storage, to be cooked like other dry beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeeds grown by Titbout's Seeds in Missoula, Montana. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50 seeds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirections: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDirect seed after danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePlanting Depth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSeed Spacing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDays to Germination\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDays to Maturity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e1”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e6”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e6-12\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e60-70\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Snake River Seed Cooperative","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46170241761528,"sku":"019962576164","price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":46172290187512,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/4900\/1839\/products\/Cowpea-Sages-Texas.jpg?v=1536618059"},{"product_id":"fava-bean-windsor-1","title":"Bean, Windsor Fava","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVicia faba\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelicious, tender spring bean, and nitrogen-fixing cover crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nitrogen fixer grows 3’ tall, producing fat pods filled with tender green beans.
