Dry Beans Canada

Canada is known worldwide for producing high-quality dry beans, and Ontario sits at the center of this success.
The province accounts for approximately 70–75% of Canada’s white and colored bean production, benefiting from fertile soils, moderate rainfall, and cool nights that result in uniform seed size and excellent color retention.

BroadGrain’s Seaforth, Ontario facility is strategically located in the heart of Ontario’s bean-growing region, close to the shores of Lake Huron.
Our facility features a dedicated dry-bean cleaning and processing line equipped with advanced color-sorting and grading technology.
We handle, process, and market Navy Beans, Black Beans, Dark Red Kidney Beans, Light Red Kidney Beans, and Cranberry (Light Speckled Kidney) Beans, all graded to Canada No. 1 standards and supplied to canners, packers, and food manufacturers in North America and worldwide.
