Market Farming

[Allan Balliett <igg AT igg.com>]

What kind of money do they bring on the west coast? (BTW these also 
freeze well in their pods. BTW, If you get edemame from a sushi bar 
($1-3 for less than a cup of them), they are usually sourced from the 
freezer.

Last year someone was offering a 'special variety' on SANET. This 
variety was harvested by cutting the stem and leaving the beans on 
the stem and selling the 'whole plant' in this fashion. (beans on a 
tree, or something like that.)

Incidentally, edame makes the best attractant for GROUND HOGS that 
we've ever had !! :-)  :-(
