CLEANING THE BEAN CROP

 We picked the dried beans from the plants the other day.

Today we cleaned the beans and spread them out to completely dry for a day or two--and give the spiders and bugs a chance to skedaddle.

First, we put them into a pillow case and beat them a bit.  This will break open the shells and release the beans.



Then we go through and make sure all of the beans were released from their shells and separate them.


Then we have to blow the chafe away from the beans until they are clean.

Beans are then laid out to dry.
