Come and Get 'Em!
Beautiful fields of Pesticide-free Green Beans
To keep the bean plants healthy, we have one request:
Picking needs to take place between 10AM - 6PM.
Cooler, damp morning temperatures are great for growing conditions,
but not for harvesting.
If beans are harvested in the morning's coolness,
or
if the plants are damp when picked,
it opens them up to a "rust colored" fungus.
Once started, it spreads like wild-fire throughout the fields.
While the fungus does not damage the "eating quality" of the bean,
it turns the plant and seed pods a rust color,
making them unappetizing to look at.
Because our fields are chemical-free we harvest under optimal conditions.
That is why we have strict harvesting hours.
By 10AM, the plants are dry, and not as susceptible to the rust fungus.
Thank you for understanding.
