Produce Packshed Design: Building a small-scale open packshed on leased land at Flywheel Farm

How pack sheds on fruit and vegetable farms are designed has an enormous impact on a farm's profitability and the ease of day to day operations. A well-designed and brightly lit area that is large enough to move around in improves worker comfort and safety and increases efficiency when moving product. Because of the overlap between human pathogens and plant pathogens, a space that is well ventilated and easy to clean will both improve produce safety and extend product shelf life. This video features the beginning farmers at Flywheel Farm as they build a small packshed on their leased farmland.
