We met with Beth to outline the goals of our focus group. We decided that Leaning up the Harvest station was the first priority. We need to organize the harvest shed, take inventory so that we know when to restock, label the location of each item so that it always returns to its home and provide a photographic standard of what the harvest shed should look like when organized. We also want to create a “Harvest Standards” manual with detailed instructions and photographs describing the technique for harvest, tools needed, and aesthetic as well as sanitary standards for each crop. This would help to build consistency in the produce we provide to our customers through market and CSA. We have other goals for making tools more efficient and accessible on the farm but we are focusing on harvest as our priority since it is high season and we need to make sure that no food goes to waste because we are not being thorough and efficient.
