Summer High Tunnel Production and DIY Construction
igh tunnels offer many benefits in vegetable and small fruit production. However, purchasing and installing can be costly. Come and learn about a low cost DIY tunnel that can be installed in hours on your own farm! Also, there will be discussions on other buying and construction options including cost share opportunities.
Summer and fall production can be difficult in high tunnels due to excessive heat and high pest pressure. There will be discussion on production options for high tunnels during summer months and how to prepare for fall crops. A portion of this day will be HANDS-ON learning.
Registration deadline is April 9. There is a $20 registration for Carolina Farm Stewardship Association Members and it is $25 for Non-members (includes refreshments and lunch).
