Who are the people behind Randall Beans?
Scott and Meredith Keating are the co-owners of Randall Beans. Meredith’s father purchased the company from the Randall family in 1974, who had successfully owned and operated Randall Beans since the late 1800’s. Scott and Meredith acquired and started running the company in 2011, updated the packaging (although we will never stop using those clear, non-tinny-taste glass jars!) and started selling online.
The Keatings also own and run an organic farm, called Open Spigot Farm, which was once the local watering hole for cattle traveling up and down the Cove. They are both hands-on farmers, and they are also happy to help out on the production line at Randall Beans.
