Thrashing Pinto Beans & The NE Heights Farmers Market

9/8/2015

As the clouds cleared yesterday afternoon, Farmer Dean prepared the Bean Combine for harvesting. The beans were sufficiently dry and he took the combine out to thrash. Thrashing (or threshing) is the process of separating the bean from the hull. As the combine picks up the windrows of beans it separates the beans, dumps them into a bin and the hulls fly out the back of the machine. Now the beans are off to the bean cleaner!
Every Tuesday you can find the Radigan Family at the NE Heights FM. Please visit them today!

Farmer's Wife, Ivellise

City girl turned country girl, who could never keep a house plant alive, married to a farm boy turned accountant whose desire to work the land never left his heart. When the opportunity to return to the farm arose, I thought to myself, "How will I ever grow vegetables?!" Lots of prayer, the support of my parents, the help of my patient in-laws & my Farmer husband and the grace of the Lord have taught me much about farming and growing. It is a tremendous blessing!
I will post as often as I am able to keep you updated with life on our farm.
