New Strain a Success

While I'm waiting for the milo to dry so we can make some more grain spawn, I have to celebrate this past Saturday.  We finally were blessed with enough mushrooms to take to the Courthouse Square Market in McDonough.
It's a great place to be on any day of the week, but we'll be selling with the other vendors on Saturdays. There's a great little restaurant that serves all kinds of goodies along with vendors of vegetables, eggs, boiled peanuts, baked goods and crafts of all kinds not to mention the different flavored beers on sale.  There is also a booth that is all things honey, yum.  Want to pamper your pet?  There are organic made treats available as well as cute accessories for the special dog in your life.  

I had a great time selling my mushrooms and hope our new strain from Aloha Medicinals will come through for this Saturday as well.  We loved our huge. meaty shiitake but the new strain delivers small, tender mushrooms easy to cook with.  
We're working hard to establish quality and quantity and we're getting there slowly but surely.  We love what we do and hope to be the source of locally, naturally grown Shiitake mushrooms.  Hopefully later this fall we'll be able to deliver oyster mushrooms as well.
