The Bean Shack

The Bean Shack THE ORIGINAL BEAN SHACK at Parke County’s Covered Bridge Festival in Bridgeton, Indiana. Authentically rustic since 1977.

Since 1977, The Bean Shack has been using cast-iron cauldrons over a wood-burning fire pit to slowly smoke our beloved ham and beans to perfection. Served with sweet cornbread, this Indiana Fall favorite has been comforting palates from all over the world during the Covered Bridge Festival in Bridgeton, Indiana.

Thank you everyone for coming out this year and supporting The Bean Shack! We enjoy your visits and stories. Tomorrow is the last day of the festival. Also, last day to get take home beans in a 32 ounce cup with cornbread. You can freeze the beans and have them throughout the year. 🙂 The ham and beans are made over an open fire then packaged. Don’t let the rain scare you away tomorrow…less crowds and good deals.

Thank you to all of our customers, friends and family coming out this year.
It was nice to see everyone. May all of you have a wonderful year to come and we will see you next bean season.

We had some loyal customers pass away over the last year. The family members came out to honor them by having their favorite ham and bean meal and share stories of their loved ones. Our deepest condolences to all. Also, please keep the Todd family in your thoughts and prayers. We lost a great woman this year, Ivy Todd. She worked at The Bean Shack with us and we miss her dearly.
