As far as lean production goes we’ve mostly been planning with paper, spreadsheets and inventory sheets but this week we decided to really start getting some things done. We noticed this week that the wash station had some new added parts to it for maximum efficiency. After looking through the harvest shed we decided to re-arrange, organize and lean it up. We dedicated one side of it for flower production, harvest and bouquet making, while the other side contains all of our harvest tubs and washing supplies.
Color coordinated buckets organized from largest to small (5 gal – 2.5 gal)
Green = farm
White = food-safe
Black = flowers
Our new flower harvest station. Bottom shelf is everything needed for bouquet making and wrapping
Eventually we’ll have a color coordinated system for our tubs CSA, market, food bank etc.

Harvest and wash station shelf! This is now reorganized so both the harvest and washing stuff is separate so anyone can grab what they need without looking for the wash station box
We will eventually have everything with signs and diagrams so its really easy to get but not too bad for one hours work!
