This occurs from 10 a.m. until around 10 p.m. at the sprawling building.

An estimated 60 fully laden, full-sized trucks – about 3,600 full pallets – leave the facility per day, with produce shipped throughout the U.S. and into Canada, Lakeside Marketing and Communications Coordinator Bryant Hammer said.

“There is a lot of product moving through here,” he said. “Sales are very robust.”

Shipping is the final step of a process that typically begins no more than a few days earlier, when workers pick the produce at farm parcels throughout Watsonville.

From there, Lakeside’s 60 products are brought to the facility at 25 Sakata Lane, where they are washed, iced and boxed, and then brought into a massive chilled warehouse. There, the products wait their turn to be loaded and shipped.
