We got a grant from the USDA/NRCS/EQIP program to put up this 96' x 24'tunnel. This will greatly expand our winter offerings and will also mean far earlier crops such as tomatoes and we just might get crazy and grow ginger or some other tropical crop. We started building it the second week of October and should be finished by mid November (which is too late to plant it for this winter)

Congratulations! That's awesome. Enjoy your earlier hothouse tomatoes!
Hi Lucy! We are in western Wisconsin and considering the EQIP grant for a high tunnel also. If you don't mind, I would love to ask you a couple of questions about your experience with that. We have also applied for the no-til grant which I am more sure of, but we're still mulling over the high-tunnel for reasons I can discuss via email. Thank you. I can be reached at bifrostfarms@gmail.com.
