The Ultimate Guide to Portable Restrooms
Seasonal farms like Sauchuk Farm in Plympton, Massachusetts, rely on dependable portable restroom service to support large visiting crowds across orchards and activity areas where permanent facilities are not available. Each fall, tens of thousands of guests visit the farm for its corn maze, pick-your-own fruit seasons, and family events, which makes reliable portable restroom support an important part of the guest experience.
Scott Sauchuck, Owner of Sauchuk Farm, shared why dependable portable restroom service helps keep guests comfortable and lets the farm team stay focused on running the experience instead of managing facilities.
Unlike a single weekend festival, Sauchuk Farm stays active across several months. Restroom needs shift as crops come into season and visitors move across different parts of the property.
They see school field trips and birthday parties during the spring, then blueberry picking in the summer, followed by peach season. But most of the farm’s traffic happens during about fifteen fall operating days spread across seven weekends and Columbus Day. During that window alone, Sauchuk Farm welcomes somewhere between thirty thousand and forty thousand visitors who come to pick apples and participate in their popular corn maze.
With crowds that size moving across orchards and activity areas, portable restroom placement and servicing has to stay dependable.
Scott Sauchuk built the farm into what he describes as a standard agritainment venue, but the land itself still operates like a farm first. Permanent restrooms are not an option across most of the property. Because of that, portable restrooms are essential.
Guests expect the portable restrooms to be clean, well-stocked, and easy to find wherever they are on the farm, and when that’s taken care of, the whole visit just becomes smoother for everyone.
Before working with The Throne Depot, restroom service created extra work for the farm team. Units would run out of toilet paper. Hand sanitizer would disappear. Staff had to spend time restocking supplies themselves just to keep things usable for visitors.
Scott said that changed once The Throne Depot stepped in. “We used to have to go through so much toilet paper just restocking the units that were there,” he said. “And really, I haven’t had to do that at all since we started working with The Throne Depot over the last two years.”
Complaints about trash inside units also used to be a regular issue with earlier providers. That stopped being a concern as well.
One of the unique challenges at Sauchuk Farm is that the restrooms need to move with the crops and seasons.
The Throne Depot technicians stayed on top of those changes. Scott shared that service drivers learned the property well enough to locate units even as picking areas shifted throughout the summer and fall.
“They would find them,” he said. “They would count them and make sure they serviced every single one of them.”
That attention to detail made a difference across a large working landscape where locations are not always fixed.
It just seems that the team at The Throne Depot is very flexible,” he said. “Which is nice.

Visitors noticed the change too. Scott said guests regularly commented on how clean the restrooms were after service visits. Some even told him they were the cleanest portable toilets they had ever used.
That kind of feedback matters at a destination where families spend several hours walking the property together.
When restrooms stay clean and stocked, people stay comfortable, which means they stay longer and enjoy more of what the farm offers.
Sauchuk Farm depends on the weather, and plans can shift quickly when rain rolls in.
Scott said flexibility became one of the biggest reasons he kept working with The Throne Depot. If he needed an extra cleaning, the team made it happen. If weather forced a cancellation, they easily made adjustments.
“It just seems that the team at The Throne Depot is very flexible,” he said. “Which is nice.”
Running a destination farm means managing crops, staff, guests, parking, activities, and schedules all at once.
When it comes to their restrooms, Scott said the biggest difference he noticed after switching providers was that he didn’t have to think about restroom service anymore. “It just kind of runs itself in a way.” That peace of mind is exactly what strong event support should deliver.
Through consistent servicing, dependable scheduling, and a team that stayed attentive as restroom locations shifted across the orchards throughout the season, The Throne Depot helped take one more moving piece off Sauchuk Farm’s plate during its busiest months.
From standard portable restrooms and accessible units to responsive service visits when weather or attendance changed plans, The Throne Depot provided the kind of support that seasonal agritourism destinations rely on to keep visitors comfortable across a large working property.
When asked what he would tell other farms or seasonal venues thinking about working with The Throne Depot, Scott said the service has been flexible, reliable, and easy to work with, and that he plans to keep working with the team each season.
