On the flip side, I wonder how many customers they have gained. Most likely more than enough to offset this loss.

With a name like Rancho Gordo New World Specialty Food, he'd never see me as a customer. The "New World" sounds too Marxist and then there's the conflict between "new" and "heirloom."

He's selling pinto beans for $5.95/lb plus $12 shipping for a total of $17.95. Hahahahaha! Just go to the grocery store and pick up a pound bag for .75. You want unusual beans? Pick up a grocery store bag of a bean soup mix for a few cents more and you've got maybe a dozen different varieties to plant or eat.

Yes, for those who don't garden, a dried bean is the seed.

Same thought here. In the end, probably it all balances out.
