High Tunnel 4 Week Intensive

We will go in-depth and hands-on, learning to grow in, design, and build hoop-houses from scratch (not a premade greenhouse kit). Attendees will receive comprehensive details on what, how, and when to plant, where to buy seeds and plants, soil, compost, the parts, vendors, and prices of greenhouse components with a preference for materials easily sourced from a local hardware store.

This multi-day workshop will be specifically for the challenging climate of the high deserts of Utah. You will learn how Red Acre Farm grows year-round at nearly 5,800 feet with a 60-day growing season despite the high fluctuations in weather conditions and persistent high winds. Every detail and step will not only be explained but experienced. We will work together as a team, constructing and erecting a 52' by 11' high tunnel. Literally starting from scratch - from bare dirt to the final steps of pulling the plastic cover on, and building the end wall and scissor doors. 

Limited to only 5 participants. You will receive one-on-one attention to be sure all your questions are answered and concerns addressed.

To ensure your success we offer continued support for one year following the workshop including:

• contacting us with questions, concerns, etc.
• access to our pipe bender
• within a 25-mile radius of Red Acre Farm, the Red Acre team will come out and look at the site of your greenhouse/high tunnel.  
• help to pull on your plastic when ready
