An article about the Sullivan County agricultural high tunnel project
has been published in August edition of The Valley Green Journal. Marty
Castriotta, of Village Roots in Alstead NH, has been working with many
volunteers, as well as faculty and students from Colby-Sawyer College on
the construction. "The purpose of the Sullivan County high tunnels is
to promote agricultural education, encourage local food production, and
foster collaboration among growers, gardeners and consumers in Sullivan
County. What makes this project unique is that the two tunnels are
identical in all respects, except for the coverings. One tunnel has
standard 6 mil greenhouse polyethylene. The second structure features an
innovative covering called Solawrap, which is not yet widely known in
New England." You can read the entire article in the Valley Green
Journal website by clicking on the August 2014 link.
