So... I'm really keen to try all sorts of interesting greenhouse designs on my farm.  I envision that they can be paired with various tiny house locations on the farm, each with its own zones 1&2 areas.  I'm planning to put an hexagon or octagon shaped glasshouse (16' dia) near the main farmhouse (in Massachusetts).  This would be used for growing a few things we really love but can't grow outside like maybe citrus, chickpeas, lemon verbena, and patchouli and a place to safely overwinter things like rosemary in a gurt big pot.

I saw a super looking geodesic model in a video from Fat Peach Farm in New Hampshire.  I haven't contact those folks yet, but I'm going to assume that this is a commercial kit.  I'm wondering if anyone here has made one of their own from plans or a book they could recommend.  Here's the vid (explaining their no-till beds study).

Anyone looking to purchase plans or services for geodesic greenhouses, be aware of a particular outfit called Trillium Domes in Washington State.

They bought multiple sets of plans from a man in the UK, then started selling the exact same plans online. They have an active social media marketing strategy and pretend that these designs are their own.

There are a lot of hard working folks in Permies who know what it's like to have your creative works stolen from you. Please don't enable this individual by supporting their business.
