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.
