Subject: RE: On farm cooler


Nash County, NC
I will concur with mainefarmer. It takes a lot of cooling power to remove field heat. In a former career we attempted to used forced air to keep cucumbers cool for a couple of days. It was a disaster. They typically arrive with so much field heat, it’s a task.

If you are looking to keep things refrigerated for a couple of days, I would consider a small hydrocooler. If you remove all the field heat, keeping the produce cool is much simplifier.

Not to be disrespectful, if you aren’t going to invest in the cooking capacity needed, I wouldnt spend any money on insulation.

Feel free to email me and I will share what we went through.
