Construction Continues on Our New Produce Pack Shed

Pouring concrete for the pack shed  foundation.

We're excited to see some construction action on our new building for washing and storing produce, located near the ICF greenhouse complex by our winter share distribution.

The packhouse building is a joint effort of the Intervale Center and ICF to house ICF and the Intervale Conservation Nursery, as well as providing other Intervale farms access to additional washing and storage space.

Want to do more than watch the progress through photos? You can help to build the pack shed through our 2018 Co-op Member Loan Program. Through the commitment and generosity of our co-op members we erected 4 greenhouses in 2013 to support our summer production as well as for growing greens in the winter. Summer tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers have all increased in abundance as well as winter baby lettuce and spinach as a result of our members' investment in their local food source.
