Extension's Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships' deep winter greenhouse team has released a new farm scale deep winter greenhouse design, available for free download. The intention with this design was to create a greenhouse that limits external heat requirements and is sized and priced to allow small and medium sized farms to build and operate profitably.
The ultimate goals of the deep winter greenhouse project are to eliminate seasonality in cold climate local food systems, increase the economic viability of the farmers that grow local foods, and to increase the availability of good quality produce year-round.
To access your construction documents, follow this link. You'll be asked to provide some basic contact information so we can provide you with any updates to the design as they become available, and possibly to ask you to fill out one or two surveys over the next few years. Questions? Reach out to Greg Schweser at schwe233@umn.edu.
