Hi All -
A bit of clarification about cloth bags:
I've been wondering about packing greens in cloth bags that CSA members or repeat customers bring back, and that get washed between use (kind of like selling milk in reusable glass bottles). My goal is to avoid purchasing and distributing disposables. I know that it's possible to buy/make  cloth bags for greens, so wondered if anyone had set up such a system, and had advice about avoiding common pitfalls.
 
Thanks,
Wendy

Rather than moving away from these items perhaps we might get more active in the formulation of the regulations that seem to focus on one problem, human health (sort of) while ignoring planetary health. I like the idea of reusing bags instead of wasting resources. Who are the pathogens, the humans or the bacteria?

With the food safety issues involved with cloth and wood we are moving away from these items.  The writing is on the wall.  If not now, then in a couple years.  Anything we do...that is anything that we construct or new business that we build we assume that the Feds or State or some marketing group (like in California Leafy Greens Marketing or OPGMA here in Ohio) will do its best to shut down ANYTHING that helps transport pathogens.
