About Us:

The Green Bean Festival celebrates the nutrient rich heritage between green beans and the people of North Georgia. The Green Bean Festival hopes to establish a larger market for locally grown varieties, to promote sustainable “green” living, to increase tourism in Union County and surrounding areas, to pass on the vast knowledge of our farmers to the next generation,and to create a fun, family-orientated event. (The Green Bean Festival highlights many aspects of this popular vegetable including everything from origins and history to pressure canning and favorite recipes.)
