Thibodeau de St-Jules / En Beauce Appalaches
(Bush) Thibodeau de St-Jules is an heirloom variety from the collection of seed saver René Paquet. Mr. Paquet received his original seeds in 2014 from Kathleen O’Farrell. This bean has travelled through generations of a St-Jules family.
In 1911 Angélina Rouleau Boucher (b. 1896) married France Boucher of Beauceville, Quebec. Angélina received seeds of Thibodeau de St-Jules from Joseph-Edouard Boucher, her father-in-law. France and Angélina’s daughter, Marie-Jeanne Boucher (b. 1920) received seeds of ‘Thibodeau de St-Jules’ from her mother Angélina Rouleau Boucher. In 1973 Jeannine Thibodeau of St-Jules in Beauce Appalaches, Quebec received a cup of these seeds as a wedding gift from her aunt Marie-Jeanne Boucher. (QUE PA R)
