CFAES has a workshop coming up on growing fruits and vegetables in high tunnels. High tunnels are a relatively low-cost, low-input way to extend the growing season into early spring, late fall and even winter. Extending the growing season benefits farmers, because early and late crops usually sell for more money — sufficient cash flow and profitability being keys to a farm’s sustainability. It helps consumers, too, by upping the availability of fresh, local produce, which is not just a way to eat better and be healthier but can cut the carbon footprint of one’s eating.
