I needed organically certified bell beans for a new covercrop mix, and ordered them from this company. The entire process of ordering through to delivery was very easy, the product was good, the label was inclusive and legal, and according to my request, the organic certification paperwork was attached. Easy peasy, or should I say bella beany?
