  Lima beans – either love them or hate them, but in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Carpinteria definitely had a mad love affair with the Lima bean. The first commercial planting of Lima beans and their development as a favorite (or vilified) North American food began in Carpinteria. Little known in this country before 1865, the Lima bean is actually a native of Guatemala, from where it had been carried to South America and widely planted as a food staple for millennia.  In the late1860s, Robert McAlister, tired of working the northern gold mines, settled on farming in Carpinteria. One day McAlister rode into Santa Barbara to meet his brother who had just arrived on a sailing ship from South America. Among the ports where they traded, McAlister’s brother had seen the strange flat, white beans at Callao, chief seaport of Peru. They were called Limas, as they grew on the hilly farms surrounding the Peruvian capital of that name.
