Overall, Berry Green strongly endorses the Softrim to be used in every company’s post-harvest process

At Berry Green, our post-harvest program is built around two priorities: producing high volume and maintaining a hand-trimmed quality. In the Michigan market, every gram needs to hit a premium standard while keeping production costs competitive.

The Softrim machine has allowed us to achieve both. Since integrating it into our process, we have been able to reduce our trim labor by over 50% while consistently producing a product meeting hand-trimmed standards.

This balance of throughput and quality has made a noticeable impact on our operational efficiency and our ability to maintain a competitive edge in the market.

The Softrim also grants real flexibility. Cultivators who prioritize cost efficiency can run a more aggressive, minimal-labor trim, while those aiming for higher-end quality can opt for a gentler pass and hand-finish the final details. We fall into the latter category, and the Softrim makes it easy for us to meet our quality standards without sacrificing efficiency.

The machine has been reliable and easy for our team to adopt into the process. Platform Robotics, the maker of the Softrim, has done a phenomenal job supporting us during our startup. They have provided multiple days of on site training, are quick to respond to any concerns, and have been a pleasure to work with.

Overall, Berry Green strongly endorses the Softrim to be used in every company’s post-harvest process if they wish to produce a high quality product with low cost.

Sincerely,

Michael Mason
