Store & Organize Your Gear

As you start to accumulate gear for your farm, you’ll want to find a place to organize and store it. This could be a shed, shop, garage, or rented storage or warehouse space. Having a covered and enclosed space to store your spare equipment, spread out your arrays, and prep your gear will help you keep organized and make a big difference when the weather starts to turn cold. Watch this video tour of Bren’s shed to get an idea of what this type of gear storage could look like.
