How It's Made: New Bootstrap Farmer Air Prune Trays

USA Manufacturing has been at the forefront of Bootstrap Farmer's goals over the past few years with new products added all of the time. Join Bootstrap Farmer's Creative Director Katie Russo, Tracy Lutz our farmer in residence, and Cal our lead injection moulder for a discussion about what it takes to produce our trays in the United States, why it matters, and what more is to come. We hope you will join us.
