DIY Farm Hacks: Mini High Tunnel at Foliota Farm

In this series, we're exploring different Farm Hacks that our CT Farmers have put together and how they have benefitted their small businesses by increasing efficiency and keeping costs low. Some of these are influenced by products that are already out there, but some are brand new creations from our ingenious farmers.

So they adapted an Eliot Coleman version of his mini hoop house and made it to fit the space they had. With just a couple items from the hardware store and a little know how, they put one together from scratch!
