Beans & Greens Farm was founded by Andy & Martina Howe, local dairy farmers from Gilford.

   

For 30+ years Beans & Greens has constantly sought to adapt a unique farm experience - to provide as much high quality, locally produced food & fun as possible!

 

In April of 2021 the Beans and Greens torch was passed on to the new owner Chris Collias.  Chris along with his girlfriend Lindy, spent the first two years armed with a great culinary team and a dedicated and hard-working retail staff. They have introduced new prepared meals and soups to the selections along, with expanding the catering aspect of the business.  In addition, new exterior doors and a heating system was added allowing Beans & Greens to be open year-round

They have also added the "Farm to Foodie" Food  Truck offering a Taco Menu to include; Chicken Street Tacos, Pork Carnitas, Vegan Tacos & more. Another cool offering was the mobile Wood-Fired Pizza Oven that sits on top of an Army surplus wagon!

​

In the summer of 2022, they launched Jack & The Flying Bean Stalk

kids fun park. Complete with a large jumping pad and mini ziplines.

They will continue to add to the park with each season.

​

2023 they were happy to announce the opening of Notch Biergarten at Beans & Greens.  Adding an outdoor biergarten under the beautiful timber framed pavilion and updating their seating with new tables and benches.  This allowed for more entertainment, such as, Comedy Shows, Dueling Pianos, Oktoberfest, and live entertainment with local artists. They were excited that the community participated and joined in the fun and look forward to offering more entertainment as they grow.

​

2024 season Chris & Lindy  were proud to announce the addition of their Coffee Carriage at Beans and Greens to enhance their food and beverage offerings.  The coffee carriage is located at the back parking lot at Beans and Greens Farm. This where you can order a perfectly made cup of espresso, cappuccino, latte, or drip coffee from one of their barista’s! The Beans and Greens Coffee Carriage is proud to serve Locally Roasted Mad River Coffee, and they use an Italian espresso machine that has been placed in a restored horse trailer.  They think their Beans and Greens Coffee Carriage is VERY cool, and a must see experience while visiting the lakes region. They also serve farm fresh breakfast sandwiches, cider donuts, GENUINE NEW York Style Bagels, and freshly baked blueberry muffins.

​

Each new year they will continue to grow the business around

Family, Farm, Food & Fun.  The team is extremely proud that their efforts have led to being named "Best in the Lakes" in the farmstand category for 2022 , 2023 & 2024 !

The new owners love having a place where the community is welcome to meet and appreciate getting to know all of their patrons.
