If you live on a lot in suburbia its a good plan. If you live on a farm, even a very small one its a dumb idea. Nothing beats building a packing shed a short walk from your homes backdoor. Washing, packing and loading produce is the second most messy job on the farm after raising confined livestock... Bob.
Extending our drive to our new walk-in basement.  Building therein sinks to wash, drain and pack veggies, a cold room with a coolbot, a cool space to store squashes and sweet potatoes, also a wood stove down there.

While in the design and soon to build stage, what do we need to be thinking about, in terms of ease of use, flexibility and GAPS certification/food safety?  Airflow, insulation, moisture control?

Links to planning documents useful as well.

Thanks,
