Van Camp's—"America's Original Bean"—has been making delicious beans for more than 140 years. When looking for a tasty and satisfying bean dish, try one of Van Camp's three different styles. Van Camp's Pork & Beans, the No. 1 brand in pork and beans, is clearly America's favorite. Van Camp's Baked Beans are slow cooked to perfection using quality ingredients. Don't forget that Van Camp's Beanee Weenees—portable and ready-to-eat—are an ideal snack. For the perfect complement to any main dish, or even alone, beans from Van Camp's are a real treat.
Van Camp's roots can be traced back to Gilbert Van Camp and his wife, Hester. Back in 1861, they canned fruits and vegetables in their family store in Indianapolis. Van Camp was an entrepreneur and tinsmith who built the first cold storage warehouse. Gilbert's son, Frank, discovered that pork and beans taste better when mixed with tomatoes and served hot. He began marketing his new product and even sold it to Union troops during the Civil War. By 1909, Van Camp's was the No. 1-selling pork-and-bean brand in the United States.
