Success StoryLynn Grogan - Pea Ridge Farm



Lynn Grogan - Pea Ridge Farm

Author: Daniel Becker

Planning Unit: Horticulture

Major Program: Horticulture, Commercial

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Lynn Grogan of Pea Ridge Farm participated in the Kentucky Horticulture council Small Fruits Initiative. She was wishing to expand her high tunnel strawberry operation and incorporate vertical "stacker" pots. Her interest in this production system was due to a desire to utilize vertical space more effectively and as a way to reduce joint strain during harvest. Her participation in the grant program and with help from the extension associate (Daniel Becker) acting as a technical advisor allowed her to set up the system. She sent this in response to the project:

I would like to send a big THANK YOU for the grant that enabled the addition of the hydro stacker system to my farm!

Without the grant it would not have been possible and fingers crossed that it will increase my strawberry production in the upcoming year(s). If all goes as I hope it will, I'll be adding more in the future. 

Please see attached photo of the installed system.

 

Once again, Thank you!
