Mushroom Growing for Beginners on the Farm!
Hey Folks! If you’ve been curious about growing mushrooms but aren’t sure where to start, this is the one-day workshop for you.
You’ll learn core low-tech, outdoor mushroom cultivation methods that we teach in our 3-month online beginners course—distilled into a practical, accessible day on the farm.
You will learn:
* How mushrooms grow and regenerate the forest
* How to inoculate logs and make totems
* How to make your own cardboard spawn
* How to grow mushrooms on straw
* How to make woodchip beds
You’ll will go home with:
* Cardboard spawn to grow out mycelium
* A straw bag inoculated with Oyster mushrooms
* A log inoculated with Shiitake mushrooms
* Woodchips to start your own Wine Cap bed
Whether you’re currently farming, working full-time elsewhere, or simply exploring your options, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what’s possible and what it requires.
We look forward to working with you!
