If you’re interested in learning about high tunnels for season extension on your farm, join Wyoming Cornell Cooperative Extension for a Wyoming County high tunnel tour. We will visit three farms that are all utilizing high tunnels in different ways. The tour will begin at the Cornell Cooperative Extension high tunnel on the grounds of the Wyoming County Agriculture and Business Center. This tunnel is currently producing tomatoes, cucumber, eggplant, and peppers.Wyoming County Natural Resource Conservation staff will be on hand to discuss their funding programs/opportunities available for those considering season extension. The second stop will be at Burleys Berries and Blooms to see high tunnel grown raspberries. The tour will conclude at Pa’s Produce. This operation focuses on growing greens and lettuce along with other seasonal crops.
Growers will be on hand to discuss their farm story, experiences with high tunnels, and field technical questions from participants.
Tentative Schedule:
Carpooling from Ag Center to the farms encouraged to reduce on farm traffic.
