I couldn't resist catching Stephanie in the act of carefully building her wall of bins this week. Her job on the packing line is to put the bags into your bins, and label the lids. In preparation, she pulls out the bins and carefully stacks them. While most of us make pyramids, which are a bit more intuitively stable, she has started cantilevering to build straight up and save on footprint. Of course she would. I'm so glad we've got a creative builder on our team who has made us all smile and remember to never stop playing!

Cantilevered Bins

About the farm
Heather and Stephanie have been running Fiddlehead Farm since 2012 in Prince Edward County, Ontario. With a small team of employees they are ecologically growing twelve acres of tasty vegetables. Selling veggies year round, they pack up shares in spring, summer and winter seasons.
While they grew up in cities it is their shared passions for good food and the environment that led them to start their own vegetable farm after studying in ecology and politics. They started with a modest group of farm shares and a handful of farmers' markets. With the help of family, friends, and a dedicated following of both veggie box members and market customers the farm has steadily grown from its humble beginnings.
