Specialty Crop

Fresh vegetables, herbs, and fruits during the main growing season, and salad greens and lettuce year-round. Because of increasing demand for their produce, the Jordans now have three 30ʹ × 50ʹ high tunnels, and a half acre of outdoor plots. The high tunnels are warmed throughout winter utilizing processes that Mr. Jordan developed. This, in turn, allows the Jordans to grow lettuce, salad greens, and cold-hardy crops for winter harvest. Mr. Jordan says that he and others can help area landowners and small-acre homeowners do likewise to expand existing operations or develop new value-added opportunities (see the NEW FARRM Exchange and the NEW Growers Organization listings for details).
