Description
The wash/pack area on a farm can either be a dream come true or a long, simmering nightmare. Hear from Tianna Neal (Starlit Roots) and Russell Honderd (Love is Love Cooperative Farm) about how they decided to build out their farm’s wash stations with two distinctly different budgets and capacity goals. They will share the tools (like squeegees, brushes, and signs), infrastructure (like salad spinners, spray tables, and shade), and design tips (you can do a lot with post-it notes, graph paper, and scissors) that have saved them time and reduced stress on their backs, brains, and bodies, and brought joy to their wash/packs. There will be a competition, giveaways, show and tell, and plenty of time for questions and sharing stories.
