Rancho Gordo

Founder Steve Sando has focused his business on supporting small producers in Mexico and “products indigenous to the Americas” since the inception, long before he became known as the “Bean King.” The company is best known for their heirloom beans, as well as their pinole, Mexican chocolate, pozole, dried chiles, spices, and more. A testament to Steve’s commitment to Mexico’s small farmers, the Rancho Gordo–Xoxoc project is a cooperative effort to make sure indigenous crops in Mexico have a market and are sold at a fair price. ranchogordo.com
