This episode comes to you from Hollis New Hampshire, where we visit with Trevor Hardy of Brookdale Fruit Farm and get a tour of his farm supplies business. This conversation takes you on a walking tour with Andy Chamberlin, Chris Callahan and Hans Estrin as we visit with Trevor and see what equipment he’s got in his buildings and what new technology he’s bringing into the states.

This episode was recorded in April of 2022 so pricing and availability is likely different from what you’re hearing from today but it will give you a rough idea and what to expect out of this side of the industry.

We start off the episode next to their apple packing line, and controlled atmosphere rooms, and pretty quickly walk into the newly built warehouse addition and hear about all the different ways you can spend all your hard earned cash to improve or switch up your farming systems.
