The Problem: Our Fragile National Food System and the Solution

Have you ever wondered where the food in your grocery store comes from? 

What happens if the region responsible for most of our winter produce faces a crisis?

Did you know that over two-thirds of the produce Americans consume in winter comes from the Imperial Valley of California? This single small valley, located at the end of the Colorado River, supplies much of the nation’s winter produce.

This reliance on one region introduces:

• High transportation costs that drive up food prices.
• Resource strain from long-distance shipping.
• Increased risk to our food supply due to drought, labor shortages, and other challenges.

It’s clear: our food system needs a transformation.

The Solution: Hoop Houses

Hoop houses, also called high tunnels, are semi-permanent structures made of a steel frame and a clear 

covering. They create a controlled environment for growing crops, extending the growing season and protecting plants from harsh weather.

Hoop Houses:

• Reduce the need for long-haul transportation, lowering costs.
• Decrease impact from transportation.
• Utilize resources more effectively compared to traditional open-field farming.
• And so much more!

Game-Changing Benefits of Hoop Houses

Imagine a future where your community relies less on distant food sources and builds a resilient, local food system. This future is possible with hoop houses.

Hoop houses, also known as high tunnels, are semi-permanent structures made from a sturdy steel frame and a clear covering. They create a controlled growing environment, shielding crops from harsh weather and extending the growing season. With a hoop house, farmers can plant earlier in the spring, harvest well into late fall and winter, and significantly increase their yields.

But the benefits of hoop houses go beyond just farming—they bring transformative changes to communities and local economies.

Strengthening Resilient Supply Chains while Enhancing Resource Efficiency

By enabling year-round local food production, hoop houses reduce the need for long-haul 
transportation. This not only lowers costs but also ensures food supply chains remain reliable, even during disruptions.

Hoop Houses facilitate a more efficient approach to growing:

• Decrease impact by reducing transportation distances.
• Utilize resources more effectively compared to traditional open-field farming.

Boosting Local Economies

When food dollars stay local, they support small farmers and create jobs, strengthening the backbone of local communities. Hoop houses empower farmers to meet demand while sustaining their livelihoods.
