Case Study: Canadian Farm Owner’s Experience
In 2025, a Canadian farm owner contacted YG to purchase two backcountry containers farmhouses for his berry farm in British Columbia. The challenge was to provide safe, warm, and cost-efficient housing for workers who stay on the farm for six months each year.
YG provided two farmhouse container homes with modern interiors, equipped with kitchens, bathrooms, and insulation designed for Canadian winters. Compared to traditional construction, the farm owner saved nearly 35% on upfront costs and reduced installation time from six months to less than four weeks. The client later expanded with an additional modern farmhouse container home for family use.
