Like Andrea, we sell them for $2.50/# in the pod, both wholesale to restaurants and to retail customers. 

We considered trying to open up the sheller to its widest setting and trying to shell some, but they're best shelled when they are to be used. The white-ish bean cover turns brownish. Would like to hear from anybody who has had a different experience and how they kept the shelled ones looking good.

Pricing for Fava Beans.  This is our first year doing a rage enough quantity to sell outside our on farm dinners.  For those that grow and sell 'em I am curious what quantity you sell them in (bag weight, container size, etc) and for how much.

With the wet cool spring these have exploded when in the past we have either grown only enough for a single chef that works on our farm OR had a hot spring.

Any feed back would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Pricey at $4500 but it has plow and cultivator.
