Fishtown is what we call the area today and it is with great pride that I will serve them at the Fundraiser this Sunday for @roughwoodseeds. The work that @roughwoodseeds does in saving and preserving heirloom varieties like the Shackamaxon bean is so important to our region and they are helping to combat our current food system that seeks a monocrop agriculture that doesn&#8217;t celebrate the diversity in vegetables and fruits that people once enjoyed. These beans I got from Roughwood and my brother The Blind Pig Kitchen grew them for me. It&#8217;s not a whole lot, but I am honored to serve this in my corner of Fishtown, an amazing little bean with the region&#8217;s history hiding in it&#8217;s bluish shell.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elwoodrestaurant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/242418839_4419145744869746_1153612817510856701_n-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elwoodrestaurant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/242418839_4419145744869746_1153612817510856701_n-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elwoodrestaurant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/242418839_4419145744869746_1153612817510856701_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elwoodrestaurant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/242418839_4419145744869746_1153612817510856701_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elwoodrestaurant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/242418839_4419145744869746_1153612817510856701_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elwoodrestaurant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/242418839_4419145744869746_1153612817510856701_n.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue Shackamaxon Bean William Woys Weaver in his amazing book- Heirloom Vegetable Gardening &#8211; says the name refers to a place along the Delaware River in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia.
