As farmers <br />who grow specialized cut flowers, the necessity for a cooler is paramount. Upon harvesting, it is critical for <br />flowers to be held in the cooler and "conditioned" overnight before being delivered to wholesale accounts, <br />florists and our customers. This ensures the flowers have been properly hydrated, are in optimum conditions <br />while recovering from the field heat and will have the longest vase life. Growing specialty cut flowers for <br />designers requires specific post-harvest handling care and a cooler is an essential tool. The location of our <br />cooler, which will be just steps from our field, will ensure our flowers are properly cared for post -harvest <br />and will significantly reduce crop loss due to presently not have the appropriate cooler space capacity using <br />just a residential refrigerator. A commercial grade walk-in cooler will also provide increased reliability and <br />durability, which our farm requires. The walk in cooler will be installed on a newly poured 10x10 concrete <br />slab, and a simple pole shed will be built over the cooler to protect it from inclement weather. <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 5658ABCB-4C1C-497E-88A8-D9E5E38B8CB9
