Season Extension Outreach

MSU Student Organic Farm staff and MSU Department of Horticulture faculty coordinated outreach to farmers, farming non-profits, researchers, or others interested in season extension or year-round farming using hoophouses (also known as high tunnels, passive solar greenhouses, or unheated greenhouses) and other techniques, such as row covers, quickhoops, low tunnels, and 3-season high tunnels. 

Visit the MSU Hoophouse site for a wide collection of resources, research and videos related to production, marketing, business planning and other parts of year-round farming.
