A Small-Scale Washing and Cooling Unit Flywheel Farm, LLC Woodbury, Vermont A Small-Scale Washing and Cooling Unit

Flywheel Farm - started 2013 8’x20’ Packhouse and Walk-in Cooler Diverse: fruit, veggie, small livestock Current acreage in production: 2; Max: 4 30% retail, 70% wholesale 8’x20’ Packhouse and Walk-in Cooler

What do we want to accomplish with our Packhouse and Walk-in? Efficient Use of Labor Quality Produce

2013 8’ x 8’ structure using a woodshed design. No electric, no phone. 3 plastic utility sinks, salad spinner, table, floor, roof.

Past Experiences/Seen on Other Farms Considering Efficiency, Ease of Use, Cleanliness We disliked… We liked… Manual dumping of H2O - Laundry/Utility sinks Mix ‘n match basins Empty, Cleanable tabletops and floors Bathtubs Lots of air-flow and light Unreachable/lost spaces Floors that drain Filling tubs with hoses Cooler close to Packing Exposure to rain/snow Cool-bots Systems that require constant reconfiguration Systems that require more than one person

8’ x 20’ Packhouse & Cooler ELECTRIC INTERNET PACK TABLE COOLER 5 x 7 x 6 210 cu ft LOW DRAIN TABLE PRESSURE TREATED DECK SINKS PHONE SALAD SPINNER HARVEST TOTE STORAGE

Used the cool-bot website for design ideas Walk-In Construction Used the cool-bot website for design ideas Keeping the floor level with packhouse and a continuous roofline meant a low cooler ceiling (6’). 4” Poly ISO insulation, R-23 Purchased insulated door, then cut to fit. 10,000 BTU A/C unit with Cool-Bot

Utilities 200 feet of buried wire and ethernet cable 40 Amp service with subpanel at packhouse Packhouse becomes the main electrical and communications hub for the farm

Farm-Specific Design Wholesale Produce: Picked to order Primarily Greens: bunched and loose leaf Retail Produce: Picked weekly Smaller volume of diverse mixed vegetables Run by 1 person Contains everything we need to fill orders Limits of space match those of our acreage

Designing Flow for Food Safety & Efficiency Walk-in Cooler Triple – rinse for greens Flow PICK – RINSE – PACK – STORE - SEND

Cases are easy to pack in; cooler is easy to clean out Cooler Interior Cases are easy to pack in; cooler is easy to clean out vinyl flooring walls and ceiling are FRP wall board Removable, off-the-floor shelving system

Separate hand- and tool-washing sink outside packhouse Clearly marked Harvest buckets stored separately Clearly marked ‘Compost,’ ‘Rabbit’ and ‘Trash’ bins

Material & Equipment Costs 2013 Prep Area Structure with Sinks and Fittings $ 720 2014 Prep Area Walls and Cooler Expansion $ 1,700 A/C & Cool-Bot $ 600 Electric and Phone/Internet $ 680 Total $ 3,700

Forms the Center of the Farm Using the space Forms the Center of the Farm Only shady, out-of-the-dirt place to sit Farm office: take orders, check messages Where we charge batteries, scales Water hub: where we hook up drip irrigation Refrigerator can fit inside cooler (zone potential) Cooler can be made freeze-proof

Improving the Space Current Issues Becomes a magnet for tools that get only halfway back to the barn… 1) Clean up at the end of the day 2) Have a place to hang tools up Build-up of non-refrigerated produce 1) Sell that stuff Next Projects Complete drainage Add heater so cooler doesn’t freeze in winter Improving the Space
