I have had an on-and-off fascination with growing mushrooms for the past 15 years.   My failed attempts at trying to grow them were chronicled in some earlier letters.  I since learned to grow mushrooms and at a small scale, I'd say I have a reasonable measure of success.  This is the entire story, including the early failures and later learning.  Hope my experience is of use for those entering into this fascinating activity.

    Happy 2024!

    It’s 2024 and we are excited for this coming year. Lots of plans: integrating trees and livestock in silvopasture; working with other farmers in the area to promote agroforestry and make it a viable farming option; expanding our berry patches; and of course continuing our offerings at the Greenfield and Turners Falls farmers markets with our partner Just Roots!
