This WI LFPA Peer-to-Peer Gathering will take place at Sinsinawa Mound Collaborative Farm on Wednesday, June 5th. Farmers will be encouraged to share their post-harvest cooling, washing, and packaging methods. Starting in the field at a remote cooling and washing station, participants will move through different field methods (including a mobile cooling unit), and end at a recently updated packing area. They will see early versions of the Collaborative's shared pack shed and tour its newly finished facility. They will also review methods developed by individual farmers that suit the unique needs of their operations.
Participation cap: 35 people
Light refreshments will be available. WI LFPA producers in attendance will be eligible for a $75 travel stipend; limited to one travel stipend per awarded farm.
