Steve Sando, the owner of Rancho Gordo New World Specialty Food, spends more than half a million dollars each year shipping his heirloom beans to destinations worldwide.
Until Monday, FedEx shipped the lions share.
But not anymore.
Sando, who said he was fed up with gun violence, stopped using FedEx as his main shipper.
Sando said he could no longer work with FedEx because it provides discounts to National Rifle Association members.
The NRA is a really powerful machine that doesnt allow dialog about gun violence, said Sando.

So, she answers what claims is censorship by exercising censorship.
The Internet has a long memory.
And with that one act, Steve Sando, the owner of Rancho Gordo New World Specialty Food, has signaled to the whole world that he’s an idiot.
Yeah, well I got a mailer trying to get me to sign up with SimpliSafe home security services today - after they cancelled their association with the NRA as a result of the Parkland shootings, I’m convinced they have not a clue as to what does and doesn’t have anything to do with security, and will never subscribe to their service.......
Little by little the left divides us every day. One day in the not-too-distant future we will go to war with the left just like the USA is now at legal war with California. Or should I say the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia?
heirloom bean
correct passed generation to generation
typically not modified genetically other than naturally.
I am familiar with heirloom tomatoes - did not know beans were being done also.
Supposedly they taste better than their modern counter parts
Same here. "Shut up and grow beans, bean dude!"
You dont even notice the bacon.
either you are not using enough bacon, or inferior back.
Just joshing - not much for raw tomato so can not tell difference.
Bacon now bacon I can tell difference LOL

I interpreted "New World" as geographical, but you gave me the idea for a satiric protest! "New World" has Colonialist Overtones and triggers bad feelings in me, and of course I cannot in good conscience buy your beans despite your new enlightened position on shipping companies that offer those horrid NRA discounts.
Are they easy to grow? I have not had much success w/ tomatoes. Disease susceptible?

I do not have experience with that variety, but I have had good results growing other types of black tomatoes (for example, Black Prince).
I use an Earthbox self-watering container, and typically grow two indeterminate plants per container (although some might suggest only a single plant per container).
As long as I can keep the critters away, the tomatoes come out fine.
(I'm in southern New England, BTW)
“Rancho Gordo New World Specialty Food”
Mans head is full of such. Buyer beware.
Can’t wait to try them - will be prepping for spring/summer garden. Thank you my friend!
Thx.
Beans for brains...
I’m with you. . .I have never heard of the outfit. . .I hope its competitor will enjoy new customers.
UPS is for the most part union; FedEx is for the most part non union.
