Board member Frank Barnett actively searches for heirloom beans.  He not only collects them, he grows, picks, cooks and eats them to determine the quality of the bean and then records his findings.  His trips throughout eastern Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia have been fruitful -- he's collected many beans, as well as several good bean stories along the way.
