You can store fresh green beans in the fridg for a week. You can store them over a year in the freezer. You can store them two years canned in a pressure cooker.

I like blanching them and vaccum sealing. Keep in the freezer. I bought a really nice vaccum sealer at a garage sale for $5.00. It came with two rolls of bags. :D
