 "Roll back the clocks to the 1950s, who could have imagined high tunnels in public schools or the sweet spinach in the middle of January in northern Wisconsin? What a godsend for farmers and students alike. Following a nationwide trend to promote a safe and healthy local food supply, both Bayfield and Ashland counties have made great strides in this regard. Thanks in part to high tunnels, farmers can now extend their earning and growing power during the shoulder seasons and students can explore potential careers in agriculture or plant science. And best of all, the community gets to enjoy more locally sourced food, even in winter."
