See what Front Yard Farms, one of our high tunnel growers based in Ware, MA, has to say about their experience growing in a Rimol Greenhouse.
Erin Worrall turned her homestead-scale garden into a market garden, using NRCS EQIP grant funds to purchase her Rimol high tunnel. In her first year, 23% of the farm's revenue came from crops grown in her tunnel!
A high tunnel, sometimes called a high tunnel greenhouse or a “hoop house,” is a polyethylene, plastic or fabric covered greenhouse structure. High tunnels are often taller than standard greenhouses, with higher ground posts to raise the side walls.
High tunnels are used to grow plants – including vegetables, fruits and cut flowers – directly in the ground, generally without heat. They allow for an extended growing season by protecting crops from the weather and enabling more control over the growing environment. High tunnels for market gardeners are an excellent tool to increase profitability.
Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, a high tunnel comes with extended ground posts that create taller side walls. High tunnels are designed for growing crops in soil directly in the ground, as opposed to in planters or on tables as is often the case in a greenhouse. High tunnels are also typically unheated, where a greenhouse may have a more advanced environmental control system to control heating, cooling/ventilation and irrigation.

At a national level, the NRCS does not have specific size requirements for high tunnels to qualify for their cost share program. Tunnels must be at least 6 feet tall at the peak, and there is a payment cap for structures larger than 2,178 square feet. Rimol's 30' x 72' Nor'Easter is a popular high tunnel for market gardeners that are using NRCS funding, as it falls right within that payment cap.
