Executive Summary: Wild Hope Farm (Chester, South Carolina) has successfully transformed its winter production capabilities through strategic crop selection, precise environmental management, and innovative scheduling techniques. By implementing data-driven approaches to high tunnel production, the farm now supplies a 100-member winter CSA for 10 weeks from January through March using only two 30' × 96' high tunnels with minimal field supplementation.

For the commercial grower, September is not merely a calendar month; it is a critical phenological phase marked by declining photoperiods, shifting thermal gradients, and altered plant physiological responses. Success hinges on a scientific approach to environmental control, crop selection, and resource management. This guide provides a technical framework for maximizing greenhouse productivity and profitability through the autumn season
