Fran Arbogast-Carlson operates our centennial farm in Montcalm County along with her son Brandon. Elected and appointed by former Gov. John Engler to the Michigan Bean Commission, Arbogast-Carlson was also nominated to the U.S. Dry Bean Council, through which she travels the world promoting beans. A registered dietitian, Arbogast-Carlson adds cooked and drained beans to almost everything because they help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, are one of the most low-glycemic foods out there, and are low in fat while full of fiber and protein.
