Specialty Crop Facilities

Specialty Crop Farm Buildings

Custom specialty crop buildings in Ohio for wash-pack, cold storage, packaging, order assembly, equipment, and clean loading areas.

Specialty Crop Buildings Planned for Harvest, Wash-Pack, Storage, and Distribution

Specialty crops often move through more steps after harvest than a general storage building can support. A facility may need receiving, washing, grading, packing, packaging storage, cooling, order assembly, office space, and clean loading areas.

The layout should separate field soil and incoming product from clean packing and finished-product zones while coordinating water, drainage, washable surfaces, worker flow, cold storage, and food-safety requirements.

Project & Design Considerations

Specialty crop facilities should follow the product from the field through receiving, washing, grading, packing, cooling, storage, and loading. The layout should reduce cross-traffic, protect clean packaging, support sanitation, and give workers enough room to handle peak harvest volume efficiently.

Post-frame construction can accommodate washable interior zones, insulated coolers, covered receiving, office space, clear-span packing areas, and future additions. Food-safety plans, potable water, drainage, refrigeration, equipment sanitation, pest control, and any value-added processing require appropriate regulatory and professional coordination.
