Doukhobor Soybean

Doukhobor Soybean (Grand Forks Strain) - (Glycine max) A Doukhobor heirloom brought to the Kootenay region of BC around the turn of the century. Doukhobor colonies from the Zaporizhzhia Oblast region of Southern Ukraine, occupied by Russia for a period of time in the 1800’s, grew bountiful seed crops along the Molochnaya River valley. As pressure was placed on their pacisfest beliefs, they fled the region to Canada, many relocated in southern BC, including Grand Forks. This soybean is the earliest maturing variety we grow. A very flavourful, buttery tasting edamame that is easily digested. Plants are productive and respond quite well to the wetter maritime climate. Seeds are a two-tone brown-gold in colour. A must for shorter season growers.
