High Tunnels in New York: Supporting Vibrant Farms and Communities

From the rolling hills of the Hudson Valley to the majestic Adirondacks, and from the Finger Lakes to the banks of the St. Lawrence River, Nifty Hoops is proud to support the hardworking farmers of New York. The Empire State is home to a diverse and vibrant farming community, where innovation meets tradition to nourish local towns and cities.

Why High Tunnels Are Transforming New York Agriculture

• For farmers across New York, high tunnels have become a game-changing solution to unlock their land’s potential. Here’s why:
• Extended Growing Seasons: Harvest fresh produce and flowers well beyond the traditional season.
• Crop Protection: Shield your harvest from rain, frost, and unpredictable weather patterns.
• Conservation Farming: Reduce reliance on chemicals and optimize natural growing conditions.
• Community Growth: Provide fresh, local goods to farmers’ markets, stores, and CSAs, strengthening local economies.
  

At Nifty Hoops, we’re thrilled to build high tunnels that help New York farmers thrive while making a lasting impact on their communities.

Farm Focus: Wild Work Farm

Nestled in the stunning High Peaks region of the Adirondacks, Wild Work Farm is a shining example of what’s possible with high tunnels. Located in the Ausable River Valley near Keene Valley, this picturesque farm, run by Lissa, embodies local farming and community spirit.

Over the years, we’ve returned to Wild Work Farm to build multiple high tunnels, including two 30x96 structures and a 30x48 heated nursery. Each build has been a rewarding experience, not just because of the beauty of the farm but also because of the pride the local community takes in supporting their farmers.

In Keene Valley, it’s not uncommon for locals to congratulate us when they learn we’re building another high tunnel at Wild Work Farm. That sense of connection and shared pride is why we do what we do.
