The mission of the High Tunnel Success initiative is to empower residents and farmers—especially those interested in getting their own farm number—to take charge of their local food systems through installing and managing their own high tunnel structures. By offering essential guidance and highlighting funding opportunities like NRCS EQIP, ACEP and CSP contacts, the site strives to lower the barriers to controlled-environment agriculture. The goal is to equip growers with the tools to extend their growing season, improve crop yields, and grow healthy produce for themselves and their communities, fostering both food security and sustainability.

High Tunnel Success also emphasizes community impact and resource stewardship. By promoting high tunnels as cost-effective, climate-resilient growing systems, the site underscores their potential to reduce transport emissions, conserve water, and enhance soil health. Through educational content on grants, construction tips, and community engagement—such as selling or sharing produce locally—the initiative cultivates a network of growers who not only feed themselves but help nourish their neighborhoods with fresh, locally grown food.
