Hoophouse production

blueberries in a hoophouseGrowing for Market has been promoting the benefits of hoophouse production for more than a decade, since the GFM editors put up four hoophouses on their own farm in Kansas. It's hard to overstate the importance of a hoophouse to a small-scale vegetable and flower farm. The benefits are so significant that we believe a hoophouse should be one of the first things you buy when starting a small farm. You are much more assured of success growing in a hoophouse than outside.
