My favorite to can also! Fantastic with any meal that has potatoes, and what kind of meal would you have without them! Ha! Wish you the best at market!

Green beans also help out your soil

You mentioned they’re profitable for you. I’ve found the labor so high per pound for harvesting that profit is hard to find. With 5-7 minutes to harvest a pound, that’s only 9-12lb per harvest labor hour, not counting the cultivation, planting, transport, or sales labor-or the input costs. How do you keep them profitable?

I don't pay anyone! You do make a valid point.
