High Tunnels are an increasingly popular trend for growers and a proven technology for crop production. The term high tunnel is a loosely defined phrase for growing fruits and vegetables in greenhouses, although some high tunnels are used for cut flower production. High tunnels may be used to extend the growing season by providing protection for early or late season production, or they may be used for year-round growing. High tunnels are becoming increasingly popular due to the low start-up cost and quick rate of return on investment.
