Off-season berry production in tunnels
"We learned that for farmers selling at offseason farmers markets, being the only vendor with a big pile of fresh bagged salad greens and other produce was very eye-catching and often brought customers, who then stocked up on roots, eggs, meats, maple and other products.
"I know that tunnels can extend the season for berries as well, and have heard farmers say sales are excellent- fresh berries fly off the shelves. I wonder if anyone has the experience of fresh delicious berries drawing customers to your stand and helping sales of other products? Iād love to hear your stories!"
