Dance on the Beans!  

 

Pods of the dry bean crop are rattling! They are announcing the moment when their protein is optimal. Come open the crop by dancing on the beans. The crackling sounds of the pods in their autumnal rhythms of release will amaze you. The color and shapes of the beans are surprising. You couldn't get a better balance between fun and work as we prepare to store their nourishment for the dark months ahead.
