Hello, I’m Michelle Roberts, the owner of Roberts Ranch and Gardens, also known as Roberts Ranch Hoophouses (rrhoophouses.com). For over 15 years, we have specialized in building greenhouses (hoophouses, high tunnels) and assembling DIY Greenhouse Kits. We are one of the few USDA/NRCS approved providers of greenhouses and DIY kits in the West. Recently, we have expanded to 30’W Gothic Style Hightunnels, incorporated steel endwalls, and developed an 8’x10’ DIY Kit for the backyard gardener with very limited space.

With over 30 years of experience as a master gardener, I’ve worked with both traditional growing techniques and more sustainable, natural methods.

I have shared gardening techniques and information with gardeners at all levels—from beginners to seasoned growers, introducing them to the basics of how to successfully grow year-round in a Hoophouse. In our demonstration gardens, we run a vegetable co-op and have grown and harvested year round in our 24’x88’ hoophouse for 10 years.

While I’m trained in traditional gardening methods, I transitioned to organic, sustainable practices 25 years ago. Now, my focus is on working in harmony with nature by promoting healthy soils teaming with microbes, earthworms, and beneficial insects.

Because there is so much to know about success as a gardener, along with understanding how to grow “year round”, and the many different philosophies that abound, I have also created a guide for a more in depth understanding of gardening tips and techniques. This will soon be available on our website and is a free downloadable for those who buy our products. That document goes into more depth, shares proven techniques, recommends soil amendments, and connects you with trusted companies that offer excellent products to support your journey.

Our structures are designed and built by growers for growers. Through the years we have made improvements based on our own experiences in our gardens. While we want to sell our structures to growers in an effort to extend their season, protect crops, and have more control over nature, our biggest goal has always been to help promote food sustainable for all people.
