One of the things we say often when we give presentations is that we believe very strongly in diversity on the farm. We grow many types of crops, from asparagus to zucchini. But ,this is only one level of the diversity we embrace as a part of our operation. We also take our diversity to the point that we grow different cultivars of each type of crop. For example, we grow four types of snack tomatoes (Jaune Flamme, Red Zebra, Green Zebra and Wapsipinicon Peach) in the high tunnel.
