We realize that these resources are helpful in many other the locations and are applicable to work across many small farms. While we love to be in person and help one on one that just isn&#8217;t always possible. So we got together and structured a free, online, virtual webinar for you to watch. These videos cover everything we would discuss in person, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The videos are broken up into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLRhtZw1o6RdFflbL5Y9FRNf4GcLmeNU9M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"YouTube playlist  (opens in a new tab)\">YouTube playlist<\/a> so you can easily watch, (or re-watch!) each session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session Outline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Session 1: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KenRXUWfQAY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Introduction (opens in a new tab)\">Introduction<\/a> (8:19)<br \/>Session 2: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hl06i8n7Pls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Postharvest &amp; Produce Safety (opens in a new tab)\">Postharvest &amp; Produce Safety<\/a> (11:03)<br \/>Session 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/FQBHTj0NZDg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Flow and Lean Principles (opens in a new tab)\">Flow and Lean Principles<\/a> (31:35)<br \/>Session 4: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ReUlEs8sOYE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Virtual Tour of Farms (opens in a new tab)\">Virtual Tour of Farms<\/a> (21:23)<br \/>Session 5: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Mox074Gu08U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Buildings &amp; Infrastructure (opens in a new tab)\">Buildings &amp; Infrastructure<\/a> (28:18)<br \/>Session 6: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GuYa5VylsAI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Equipment  (opens in a new tab)\">Equipment<\/a> (26:08)<br \/>Session 7: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TqdeH3Tmwks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Tools (opens in a new tab)\">Tools<\/a> (39:24)<br \/>Session 8: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i96apE8zh1E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Executing Your Plan (opens in a new tab)\">Executing Your Plan<\/a> (27:48)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch the Webinar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Project Planning for Postharvest Efficiency, Profitability &amp; Food Safety\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLRhtZw1o6RdFflbL5Y9FRNf4GcLmeNU9M\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creature Comforts of the Packshed <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Creature Comforts in the Packshed with Andy Chamberlin | VVBGA Webinar\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qfWFyOKVjaM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Simple tools, layouts and infrastructure can make a HUGE difference in both physical comfort and morale on your farm. Andy will share some examples of what farmers have been pleased with in their wash-pack, and invite participants to share about improvements. Whether you are building a new pack shed or just looking for an idea to make a quick improvement on your farm, these ideas might improve the situation and make the space more comfortable and enjoyable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Resources are linked in the presentation on the bottom of the slide.

So if you do a search, it is likely that we have something written that dives deep on the specific topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Case Study Farms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The farms showcased in the presentation are part of an in-depth case study we have developed for each farm. The case studies cover postharvest projects with various levels of investment and range from existing barn renovations to new construction. You can view these at <a href=\"http:\/\/go.uvm.edu\/phcs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"go.uvm.edu\/phcs (opens in a new tab)\">go.uvm.edu\/phcs<\/a> (PHCS for Postharvest Case Studies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow-up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you improving your packshed? You can add your own brief case study to share on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/extension\/produceportal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UVM Produce Safety Portal. <\/a>Many of&nbsp; the existing examples on this portal are provided from other farmers to support others doing similar projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, if you have learned something from this presentation, or implemented something on your farm that we hard a part in, please let us know!
