Rancho Gordo

Rancho Gordo is a specialty heirloom bean company that has revolutionized the world of beans and grains. Founded by Steve Sando in 2001, Rancho Gordo is dedicated to preserving heirloom varieties and promoting the rich culinary traditions of the Americas. What started as a personal quest to grow flavorful tomatoes led Steve Sando to discover the incredible world of heirloom beans. Captivated by their diverse flavors and textures, he embarked on a mission to save and share these forgotten treasures.

Today, Rancho Gordo offers an extensive selection of heirloom beans, grains, spices, and more from small farmers in the United States and Mexico through their Rancho Gordo-Xoxoc Project. Their dedication to preserving indigenous crops and working directly with farmers ensures the availability of unique and rare varieties that would otherwise be lost. Rancho Gordo continues to shape how we think about food and the importance of heritage ingredients.
