Here's your lesson for today.

The beans are harvested and mostly cleaned in the field. They hang out in bins and totes until they're ready to be cleaned.

There are still some nasty dirt clods that can get through so a manual cleaning is also needed.

The beans then go into these 50 pound bags and get sent to Rancho Gordo where we transfer them to 25 and 1 pound bags, for wholesale and consumers, respectively.
