Hand Picking Beans



For the last while we have been picking beans. ALL OUR BEANS ARE HAND PICKED. Right now we have lots of green and yellow beans. We only pick them in the afternoon after the dew has dried off. If we pick them when they are wet they get rust marks on them. These marks don't hurt anything but they sure don't look appealing. If we don't have them at a particular market, it was probably to wet to pick because of a rain shower or a heavy dew. We also have our favorite, french fillet beans which are a small tender bean. Due the freezing temperatures on the night of July 1 these plants have been suffering all summer. We will have a limited supply.
