Ventura County Lima Beansaf Jeffrey Wayne Maulhardt
Bag om Ventura County Lima Beans

The One Time Lima Bean Capitol of the World. For over a century, Ventura County was famous for growing lima beans. The conditions were perfect: foggy coast, rich soil, and low overhead. As the seeds improved and farming technology advanced, many profited from the crop. The beans kept pace with other produce for decades before falling to the high producing cash crops like lemons, strawberries and the inevitable urban sprawl. While no longer a top crop in the county, California is the number one producer of dry lima beans in the nation and the Oxnard Plain still grows the best tasting beans. Join author and historian Jeffrey Wayne Maulhardt as he unearths the homegrown history of Ventura County's celebrated lima beans.
