Are High Tunnels Worth It? My First Year Review

High tunnels are often sold as the ultimate upgrade for flower farmers and growers — longer seasons, higher yields, and better crop quality. But they’re also a big investment and come with real risks.

In this video, I’m sharing my honest first-year experience growing in a high tunnel — what type I chose, how the season actually went, what surprised me, and the challenges that come along with this.

If you’re considering a high tunnel for your flower farm this video will help you decide if it’s really worth it for your situation.

📈Course: Selling Flowers to Florists: https://www.abundantbloomsflowerfarm....

After 6 years of flower farming I decided to start a YouTube channel to help other flower farmers learn about selling flowers to florists, and growing more advanced crops like perennials and woody shrubs. I aim for profitability, lean farming, and balancing motherhood and farming as I both farm and care for my family of 5 small children. I hope you find inspiration and blessing here.
