This grant supported renovation and processing improvements to Working Landscapes’ produce processing facility in Warren County. Working Landscapes reconfigured the facility’s floor plan to add a triple-wash production line and improve process flow, thereby boosting operational efficiency. Adding the capacity to triple-wash produce also allowed Working Landscapes to increase both the number of products it sold and the markets in which it could sell them. The expansion created seven new full-time jobs and increased sales of produce to $440,000/year. It also allowed Working Landscapes to increase its purchase of produce from local farmers. Golden LEAF funding was used for facility renovations.
