About Warm and Field

Last updated: May 14, 2026

Warm and Field is a reference focused on greenhouse construction and year-round growing in cold Canadian climates. The content covers structural design options, glazing materials, heating systems, and crop selection for growers working in zones where outdoor gardening is limited to roughly four to six months per year.

What This Resource Is

The articles here are written with backyard and small-scale growers in mind — people building their first or second greenhouse on a residential property, extending a growing season, or trying to maintain production through winter without significant commercial infrastructure.

Coverage focuses on practical decisions: which glazing material performs better in conditions with heavy snow and persistent cold, which heating approaches are cost-effective at small scale, and which crops are worth growing when temperatures inside an unheated structure drop to just above freezing overnight.

What This Resource Is Not

This is not a commercial operation. Nothing is sold here, and nothing is promoted for financial consideration. The content does not include professional engineering advice, and the information should not replace consultation with a licensed contractor for structural work or with an agronomist for commercial production decisions.

External links on this site point to sources such as Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and peer-reviewed extension publications where appropriate. No affiliate relationships exist with any of those sources.

Who Maintains This

Warm and Field is operated by a small team based in Kelowna, British Columbia. Articles are reviewed periodically and updated when information changes — particularly around product specifications, heating fuel costs, and provincial building codes relevant to agricultural structures.
