Why North Carolina Growers Choose Protected Agriculture

North Carolina growers operate in a climate that rewards season extension. Mild winters and warm summers mean two or three crops per year are achievable in open fields, but a greenhouse doubles that productivity by protecting early spring plantings from late freezes, extending fall harvests past first frost, and enabling winter production of high-value crops like tomatoes, herbs, and leafy greens.

North Carolina is the #1 sweet potato producing state in the United States, growing over 60% of the national supply, and greenhouse sweet potato slip production is rapidly expanding to improve transplant quality and extend the commercial season.
