CPH Fresh is a vegetable Packing and Marketing shed which was set up by Tony and five other vegetable growers so that instead of individually packaging and marketing their crops, they could pool their resources and have more power in the market place.  It has been up and running for about 18 months now and seems to be a success.
 
This is the CPH Fresh Vegetable packing Shed
The produce comes into the shed from the farms in large plastic bins. It is then stored in cold rooms until it is ready to be packed.
This is the equipment that we use to pack the vegetables, the machine in the front is the bin tipper and behind it is the capsicum grader.
Here you see some of the shed personnel packing egg fruit into boxes ready for marketing
In the back ground you can see pallets of packed boxes just waiting to be loaded onto the trucks for transport to the southern markets.
