Deep Winter Greenhouse v. 2.2 Construction Documents
(2017-05-18) Handeen, Daniel
A Deep Winter Greenhouse (DWG) is a greenhouse designed to limit the amount of fossil fuel it takes to grow crops during cold winters. DWGs are passive-solar greenhouses that rely on energy from the sun to heat the building instead of more traditional heating sources. The DWG 2.2 construction documents, developed by the College of Design Center for Sustainable Building Research (CSBR), reflect design changes incorporated as a result of the UMN Extension Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships' statewide DWG initiative.

This farm-to-rural grocery toolkit is a resource for farmers and grocers to help facilitate the sale of farm-grown products to grocery stores, particularly those stores in rural Minnesota. The toolkit covers legality and methods of selling and buying local foods, includes a legal product checklist and various templates (labels, farm feature, invoicing), provides tips on building a successful business relationship, and guidance on processing local foods for sale.

Stores with smaller staff numbers may consider curbside pickup and delivery to both protect worker safety and address COVID-19 concerns while still maintaining the movement of groceries into communities for distribution.
