String beans are a quiet workhorse of the Filipino kitchen — the sitaw in your pinakbet, the crisp Baguio beans in a chop suey, and the bundle you grab at the palengke without thinking twice. On FarmyHub, you can buy fresh string beans straight from the farmers who grow them, whether you need a few bundles or crates for a busy kitchen.
Two main types show up under string beans, and they're not quite the same:
Sitaw (yardlong beans) — the long, thin, dark-green beans used in ginisa, adobong sitaw, and pinakbet; usually sold in bundles
Baguio beans (snap or bush beans) — shorter, crisp, and bright green, grown in the highlands and popular for chop suey and stir-fries
Some sellers also list pole beans and French beans depending on the season. If you're cooking a specific dish, it's worth checking which type a listing offers.
From home cooks to commercial kitchens, string beans move fast. Households buy them by the bundle, carinderias and restaurants order in volume for daily menus, and palengke vendors restock to resell. Caterers and food businesses also look for a steady supply, especially of Baguio beans, which hold up well in pre-cooked dishes.
On FarmyHub, the deal is between you and the grower. We run the marketplace but don't harvest, pack, or guarantee the beans — sellers handle their own stock, so message them directly to confirm the type, freshness, volume, and how you'll get your order.
String beans grow across the country, with Baguio beans coming mostly from Benguet and the Cordillera highlands, and sitaw from lowland provinces like Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, and Quezon.
