Planning ahead for next season’s housing? Here a Planning ahead for next season’s housing?
Here are a few helpful tips for farmers preparing accommodations for seasonal agricultural workers in 2026 — and how we can help make it easier:
🔹 Start Early — Permits Take Time
Don’t wait until spring. Permits and zoning approvals can take several weeks (or even months). We’ll help guide you through the process and ensure your housing meets all local and federal requirements.
🔹 Know the Requirements for SAWP & TFW Programs
Seasonal worker housing must meet specific standards. We stay up to date with current codes — from minimum square footage to ventilation — and build accordingly.
🔹 Consider Location & Utilities
We’ll work with you to choose the right location on your property and plan for essential services like water, septic, and access.
🔹 Design for Comfort & Durability
Quality housing matters. Our Help Houses come equipped with full kitchens, bathrooms, and shared living areas — built to last and designed for comfort.
🔹 Walk Through a Model
We have a Help House model available to view at our office. Book a tour and see what’s possible for your farm.
