So good to see your traditional family farm. In Ontario Canada we buy fresh green beans all the time and we tend NOT to overcook them......canned beans are considered yuck! I noticed in the midwest when I lived there that every single diner serves army green soggy canned green beans with their entrees.......in farm country ! & margarine - not butter is served. I found that very strange. Kudos to you and yours.

I absolutely love string beans, especially lightly steamed.

We complain about the price of vegetables, but these farms are at the mercy of distributors, fuel prices, etc.

People want pesticide-free produce, but will they tolerate wormholes in the food.

i forgot to say that i add a lil salt and LOTSA pepper cause i love pepper during the cooking process. plus, at the very end i drench the dish with lemon juice. half a lemon per serving. i like sour dishes :D

a good recipe for green beans. bring water to a boil, and while the water comes to a boil, cook up some bacon cut into 1 inch pieces. meanwhile blanch the beans for a few minutes (keep them firm, dont cook too much!). the beans finish before the bacon, so take them into cold water to stop cooking. drain. when bacon is done, move both to a pan to finish cooking the beans/bacon with cubed tomato. only until the tomato has softened a bit. don't make it into mush! all pieces should be firm.
