Beans



Airing out the dried beans from the Matt & Cyn Farm. Last fall we purchased a few heirloom beans at the closing of the market and they were fantastic compared what we can purchase locally at the co-op. This winter we stocked up on about 12 different varieties. The cannellini I cooked up a few weeks ago were the best we have had in years. The day we purchased these they had just threshed the last of their crops the day before and recommended we allow the beans to"breath" before storing them. Here they are with there lids off after airing for a week out on the kitchen counter.
