The lowly legume gets the attention it so deserves once a year at the West Cape May Lima Bean Festival. Organizers could not have had better weather and people came by the throngs to Wilbraham Park to buy Lima Bean soup, t-shirts, potter and ear rings and so much more. Originally organized to celebrate the harvest of the Lima bean crop, West Cape May was once known as the Lima Bean Capital of the World. Although the crops have been replaced, the festival goes on.
