Food Alliance Certified Dry Beans: Sustainable, Traceable, Identity Preserved from Field to Fork.
Welcome to
Central Bean Company, Inc.
A New Standard in Farming and Food Processing
Located in the heart of Central Washington, family-owned Central Bean Company has been providing some of the best beans available for more than 40 years. In contrast to other companies that blend beans from a variety of growers in a large tank, our Identity Preserved (IP) operations keep the beans from each grower, field and truckload separate and identifiable. This IP system provides 100% traceability of our products, maximizes sustainable agriculture practices, and ensures our beans can be traced from field to fork. In addition, our Food Alliance certification extends from our fields through the cleaning and packing process. Our Food Alliance Certification reflects our commitment to social and environmental responsibility throughout the supply chain. We are committed to fair wage and employment practices as well as minimizing our impact on the environment. We are proud to share these priorities and values with our customers, processors and distributors.
