High Tunnel Greenhouses

A Steady Harvest Perspective

Are you thinking about enhancing your agricultural project, no matter its size or stage? One worthwhile consideration is the addition of a greenhouse. Specifically, we suggest exploring the benefits of high tunnel greenhouses.
When you search online for a “greenhouse kit,” the plethora of options can be overwhelming. From inexpensive, low-quality kits sold by major online retailers to premium ones showcased on websites of large-scale commercial farms, the variety is vast. You’ll encounter an array of shapes and sizes: big, small, short, tall, round, pointed, and even dome-shaped. Deciding which is ideal for your needs might seem daunting.
At Steady Harvest, we’ve simplified this choice for you. Our expertise lies in constructing season extension structures that are cost-effective, durable across various climates, user-friendly, and scientifically proven. Our focus? High tunnel greenhouses.

Agricultural Innovation

High tunnels, initially a taller version of the smaller “hoophouse” structures, were primarily used for temporary crop protection against harsh or cold weather. Gradually, they have evolved. By incorporating features akin to traditional greenhouses, high tunnels offer similar benefits, often at a more affordable price.
The rising popularity of high tunnel greenhouses is also backed by extensive USDA-funded research conducted at universities across the United States. This research has been so impactful that the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) now includes a reimbursement program under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for growers who wish to integrate a high tunnel into their operations.
We’re committed to bringing you the best in high tunnel greenhouse solutions, designed to elevate your agricultural endeavors to the next level and into the far future.

Benefits of Using High Tunnels

  • Expanding Operations:
    High tunnels are ideal for growers looking to expand their growing operations, regardless of the current size or stage.
  • Season Extension Structures:
    Designed to be cost-effective, durable across all climates, user-friendly, and scientifically backed, making them superior to conventional greenhouse kits.
  • High Tunnel Advantage:
    Originating as a taller variation of hoophouses, high tunnels offer enhanced protection and performance similar to traditional greenhouses but at a lower cost.
  • Research and Development:
    Steady Harvest high tunnels are developed based on decades of USDA-funded research, ensuring best practices in building and utilization.
  • USDA NRCS Support:
    Eligible for the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), which offers reimbursement for growers adding high tunnels to their operations.
  • Soil Erosion Prevention and Weed Suppression:
    The implementation of soil health practices within high tunnels contributes to reduced soil erosion, effective weed suppression, increased soil water content, and pest cycle disruption.
  • Extended Growing Season:
    High tunnels enable growers to start their season earlier in the spring, extend it later into the fall, and in some cases, achieve year-round production.
  • Improved Plant and Soil Quality:
    Protects plants from severe weather, reduces nutrient and pesticide runoff, and allows for the implementation of soil health practices such as cover crops and crop rotations.
  • Efficient Water and Nutrient Delivery:
    The structure’s design facilitates precise irrigation methods like drip irrigation, optimizing water and nutrient delivery directly to plants.
  • Pest and Environmental Control:
    Offers enhanced control over pests and protects against pollen and pesticide drift, contributing to healthier plant growth and yield.
  • Reduced Environmental Impact:
    By enabling local food production, high tunnels reduce the need for transportation and associated energy use, offering communities fresh, locally-sourced produce.
  • Community and Health Benefits:
    Supports the provision of healthy, local food for communities for a significant part of the year, aligning with a sustainable and health-conscious lifestyle.

High Tunnel Greenhouses

A Game-Changer for Year-Round Farming

At Steady Harvest, we understand that climate challenges can be a major hurdle in farming. That’s where high tunnel greenhouses come in, offering solutions that redefine the farming calendar. High tunnels excel in:
  • Prolonging the growing season.
  • Enhancing the quality of both plants and soil.
  • Minimizing the transport of nutrients and pesticides.
  • Improving air quality by reducing the need for transportation.
  • Lowering energy consumption by providing fresh, local produce.
High tunnel greenhouses offer a multifaceted solution to some of the most pressing challenges in modern farming. At Steady Harvest, we are committed to harnessing these benefits to support a more resilient and sustainable agricultural future.

Sustainable Farming

High tunnel systems are adept at shielding crops from extreme weather conditions. This allows farmers to start their growing season earlier in spring, extend it further into fall, and in some cases, continue throughout the year. The controlled environment provided by high tunnels means that rainfall doesn’t directly reach the plants. This opens the door for precise watering methods like drip irrigation, ensuring efficient water and nutrient delivery directly to the plants. Furthermore, these structures offer enhanced pest control and safeguard crops from external factors like pollen and pesticide drift.
High tunnels also support a variety of soil health practices, including the use of cover crops and crop rotations. These techniques are crucial in preventing soil erosion, suppressing weeds, maintaining soil moisture, and disrupting pest life cycles.
One of the most significant advantages of high tunnel greenhouses is their contribution to local food systems. They enable farmers to supply fresh, nutritious food to their communities for a larger part of the year.
