Dried, hand-shelled heirloom. We grow these heirloom cowpeas not only for their delicious, nutrient-rich peas, but also for the vital role they play in our garden as a cover crop and year-round food source for our bees. We grow the traditional Black-eyed Peas and Blue Goose Peas, a rare southern heirloom. Blue Goose peas are known for its plump, blue-gray speckled seeds that cook up creamy and flavorful, similar to black-eyed peas but with a unique color and often quicker cooking time, growing on productive, semi-bush plants that thrive in heat.
