Some of the most expensive greenhouse mistakes happen before construction begins.
Before comparing designs, understand who will buy your crop, what they need, and what they’ll pay. Then determine how much technology the business can justify and who will operate it successfully.

We’ll discuss where to start, when to keep things simple, and what needs to be in place before the first crop.
The building should serve the business. Define the business first.
