Packing Room

As shown here in our picture of our packing room, the cleaned sprouts are then transferred into a spinner, which removes most excess moisture. The less moisture, the greater the shelf life. The dry sprouts are then transferred to the stainless steel packing table where packers place them into food grade plastic containers, which go down the conveyer belt and are labeled, sell-by dated and palletized. After being palletized, the sprouts are placed in one of our 3 walk-in coolers, and refrigerated at 33 degrees Fahrenheit. Normally, within 24 hours of packing the sprouts are trucked in one of Specialty Farms 3 refrigerated trucks to refrigerated supermarket warehouses.
