| Green Thumb Farms is also able to supply your corn and dry bean needs. In 2007 Green Thumb Farms expanded its acreage to include Riverside Farm, conveniently located adjacent to Green Thumb Farms. Previously, Riverside had been farmed to produce crops of feed corn and dry beans. When deciding how to best use the new acreage, Green Thumb Farms chose to stick with tradition and continue growing corn and beans in rotation with potatoes. We now raise three different varieties of dry beans including Jacob's Cattle, Yellow Eye, and Soldier beans. Corn is sold whole or cracked in 50-pound bags or bulk totes. Purchased primarily for use as animal feed, an increasingly popular use of whole corn is for home heating in corn stoves. Much like pellet stoves, whole corn is added to a combustion chamber either by hand or with an auger attached to a storage bin. Many people find corn for heat to be less messy and less work than traditional wood heating.Please contact Torey McPherson for pricing and availability. |  |
