We Finally Did It!!!

 We finally purchased some buildings to allow us to bring our packing and washing facilities up to a level that meets the quantity and quality of produce we grow and deliver.
 For years we have been working under less than ideal conditions while we planned and saved to be able to afford this much needed improvement.
 We closed yesterday on a property less  than a mile away with two metal buildings on it.
 One measuring about 4000 sq. ft., the other about 2000.
 We are sooooooooooooooo excited to move our washing and packing indoors; It means better conditions for the folks doing the work; warmer, brighter, safer. It also means we can finally put our newer bigger cooler to use. All this adds up to a much more comfortable and more manageable post harvest handling function.
I am meeting with the dry-waller "Three Day Kelly" an old friend, in about 1/2 an hour to go over the immediate plans for taping and paint, then Heidi and I will start planning the lay-out with input from the rest of  the people here. You will be hearing a lot about this project as it continues.
