USDA's EQIP program can help cover a large share of an eligible structure. Working alongside your local NRCS office we'll get you the specs you need to make the most of your grant.

Literally the best greenhouse company out there. Durable structures, easily shipped and received, the two guys who run it are incredibly knowledgeable and always pick up.
While the basics of the frames are the same, the real difference lies in their use. High tunnels are built over your field for protected in-ground growing and season extension. Greenhouses are typically used for nursery crops and seed starting. Greenhouse kits often come with more upgrades, such as double-layer plastic and fans, and heat can be added. Those upgrades can be added to a high tunnel too. Not sure which fits? See our high tunnels or call an owner.
Yes. Most kits go up with a small crew, and we're available by phone if you have questions during the build.
All the hardware needed for installation and a double-inflated layer of 6-mil greenhouse plastic. Baseboard lumber and doors on the base Grower are not included. Your quote lists exactly what ships with your kit.
Generally no. EQIP cost-shares high tunnels, and you must plan to grow in the ground in the tunnel for the length of your contract. Rules vary by state, so confirm with your local NRCS office.
