Climate Smart High Tunnel Event

Let's raise a High Tunnel on the farm!

Make plans to visit Cedar Street Farm for this HANDS-ON event! Get direct experience and insight. Learning AND fun!

A "high tunnel" is a simple, unheated structure, typically covered with plastic sheeting, that provides protection for plants from weather elements like rain, wind, and frost, allowing farmers to extend their growing season by planting earlier in spring and later in fall.

This is a FREE event! Lunch will be provided!

Come out and lend a hand and ask questions! Or just come watch and ask questions.

For lunch, be sure to RSVP by emailing grace2anne@gamil.com
