This online course is designed to walk you through the world of growing in structures. This is a step in farming that can be intimidating if you don’t have someone with firsthand experiences to show you the ropes.

It definitely can look hard and complicated. And then of course, add in things like snow load, wind, pests, and diseases and it seems impossible!

But push aside the fear, because this course will lead you to be an informed hoop and greenhouse grower.

What if you could:

  • Extend your production into the cut flower high demand seasons?
  • Have the confidence to know what type of structure to invest in and where to purchase and locate it?
  • Save money, energy, and time by knowing what to plant for spring, summer, and fall?
  • Know the steps to care for crops with irrigation, netting, heating, venting, and more?
  • Do it in a way that cares for the environment?
  • Learn why and how to rotate crops?
  • Learn to monitor and tackle weeds, pests, and diseases?

Be transformed from a newbie or seasoned farmer to an experienced, confident grower claiming your share of the extended season sales!

Steve and Gretel Adam started Sunny Meadows Flower Farm in 2006. It all started when they worked on a nearby farm and fell in love with flower farming. They developed a deep passion for farming and a strong drive to make their farming business the most efficient and profitable to provide a living for themselves and their team.

The farm is located in Columbus, Ohio in winter hardiness zone 6A. With 17 structures in production along with field growing they are able to produce flowers from March to November. Their ability to produce into the high demand flower shoulder seasons allows for extended sales and better year-round employee retention.

In the beginning, they sold straight bunches of sunflowers and zinnias. Then they added mixed bouquets and that’s when the obsession with flower artistry really began. They soon realized they could create a botanical adventure by using what’s seasonally in bloom, making their weekly bouquets ever-changing.

They have multiple sales outlets, and focus on both high production and specialty crops. Their passion drives their growth to supply more people with domestically-grown flowers as year-round as possible.

Being first generation farmers, they knew it was going to be necessary to learn from others. Through that journey and the resulting success, it has made them even more passionate to share their experiences and knowledge with the wider farming community.

Steve and Gretel speak at national conferences and are members of the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers. They were regular contributors for Growing For Market magazine and other farming publications with over 30 articles published.
