In May 2025, a farm owner from Texas, USA, contacted YG Machinery to solve a long-standing problem on his farm—insufficient and poor-quality accommodation for seasonal workers. To improve the situation, he purchased 4 sets of container farm houses, along with 4 portable toilets and 2 shower houses. These units were delivered and installed quickly, providing his workers with clean, comfortable, and durable living facilities directly on the farm.
The farm owner reported that the new container farm houses not only reduced his annual accommodation costs by nearly 30%, but also helped increase worker satisfaction and efficiency during the busy harvest season.
Many farm owners in the United States encounter similar issues:
Seasonal workers often live far from the farm, resulting in high rental costs.
Temporary housing is usually inadequate, leading to dissatisfaction and high turnover.
Harsh weather conditions—heat, cold, storms—make it difficult to maintain safe and comfortable living environments.
Lack of basic facilities such as toilets and showers increases management difficulties.
YG’s Solution: Container Farm House
A container farm house is a modular building made from shipping containers, specifically designed for farm use. It provides an affordable, durable, and quick-to-install housing solution. YG provides a full range of supporting facilities, from temporary toilets and shower rooms to container swimming pools and mobile food trucks.
The Texas farm owner’s decision to install container houses for farmhouse accommodation proved to be a smart investment. Workers who previously had to commute long distances or live in poor conditions now enjoy safe housing, modern toilets, and hot-water showers right on the farm.
