First Maxibel green beans of the seasonMaxibel Stringless French Filet Beans, "haricots verts," (Phaseolus vulgaris)
are so naturally sweet and very tender that they can be eaten raw as a snack. The Maxibel bean is an elegant, long, slender,
and truly stringless green bean. At 6 to 8 inches long and very thin, they have a rich, sweet flavor and rich green color
that are enhanced by cooking, which makes them perfect for gourmet or everyday dining. We are told that they are hard to grow,
however they love growing on our place. To prepare Maxibels, all you need to
do is wash them. You do not even need to remove the stem, string, or cut these beans. Serve them whole. They require about
25% less cooking time because they are thin, so blanch or steam 2 to 4 minutes. Green
beans belong to the legume family. The pod, the green bean you eat, is an immature fruit and the beans inside are the seeds.
Green beans are an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin C, and manganese, and a very good source of vitamin A, dietary fiber,
potassium, folate, tryptophan, iron, magnesium, and protein. One cup has only 43.75 calories.

The Shares, the Farm Store and the cart usually have the same items, however, if there is only enough for shares it will not

Our family farm since 1892. Our business was founded in 1892 and changes with the
generations and the needs of our community. We decided to go into farming produce in 2004, and became WSDA/USDA certified
