The Benefits of High Tunnels

Are you tired of seeing your crops struggle against unpredictable weather and pests?

Do you wish there was a way to extend your growing season and ensure a steady harvest all year round? 

High tunnels could be the solution. These simple yet powerful structures offer protection, resilience, and the ability to grow fresh produce even in the off-season.

The Benefits of High Tunnels

  1. Extended Growing Seasons: High tunnels significantly lengthen the growing seasons for various crops. They enable the year-round production of cold-tolerant vegetables and other plants. By using row-cover systems in conjunction with high tunnels, you can also extend the seasons for warm-season vegetables and plants.
  2. Protection from Environmental Stressors: These structures shield crops from adverse weather conditions such as wind and rain. This protection helps reduce stress on plants and lowers the likelihood of pest and disease pressures.
  3. Improved Farm Resilience: By offering a controlled environment, high tunnels make farms more resilient to fluctuating weather patterns and unpredictable conditions. This resilience translates into more reliable harvests and a steadier income stream.
