I am also adding a walk in cooler at Giving Tree Farm. I just looked in the
phone book at Restaurant Equipment Suppliers and found a couple to give us
an estimate. If you find something better, we still have time to change our
plans.
As for organic farm record keeping, I have a system that works for us and is
easy for clients and staff to fill out. The real problem for us is in the
number crunching after it is entered. I have been working on an access
database, and can spit out lots of questions and answers, but I still have
some gaps to work out.
If you want to contact me off list, I would be willing to share some of the
forms with you.
