About us

The Bare Beans story

  • Woman owned

    Founder and CEO Michelle Huff created Bare Beans in 2018 with a vision to bring value back to her family’s farm. Michelle worked in the fresh produce industry for over 18 years and saw an increasing demand for value-added products. Beans were a natural fit since her husband had been growing them for years as a fourth-generation farmer. Thus, Bare Beans was born.

  • Indigenous owned

    Michelle is a Minnesota native with family roots in North Dakota. She is an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa and is proud of her Indigenous ancestry.

    The Medicine Wheel is a sacred symbol in many Indigenous North American cultures used for spiritual growth, healing, and understanding life’s interconnectedness, representing balance in the four directions across aspects like mind, body, spirit, and emotion, seasons, and elements. The Medicine Wheel is used in everything from traditional practices to modern leadership and wellness models.

Sustainability

Move More Beans in Every Load

Bare Beans is farmer-owned and as the primary grower we work to reduce our environmental footprint while cultivating the healthiest raw product possible. That philosophy extends to getting our end product into the customers’ hands. We don’t ship our beans in heavy cans and water that gets poured down the drain. We get more usable product on each truckload.

Everything you need to know about Bare Beans.

What makes Bare Beans different?

Upon opening a pouch you’ll notice a fresh, earthy smell - nothing artificial. You’ll see the natural colored bean with a texture firmer than mushy canned beans swimming in liquid. Our fully cooked, minimally processed beans need no draining and no can opener. Just open the pouch and eat or use in your recipe. There are no preservatives, no added salt, coloring or firming agents.

What’s on the ingredient list?

Cooked beans. That’s all.

Do Bare Beans need to be refrigerated?

Yes. There are no preservatives in Bare Beans. They must be refrigerated. Bare Beans have a 90-day refrigerated shelf life and can be frozen for up to one year. See use or freeze by date on each box.

Where do Bare Beans come from?

As fourth-generation farmers, we grow most of our beans on our family farms in Idaho and we source locally when necessary. All Bare Beans are non-GMO and grown in USA.
