Shiitake Mushrooms

 Shiitake Mushrooms on Oak Logs

    In 2013 we started our mushroom business and inoculated approximately 100 red oak logs with three different strains of Shiitake Mushrooms and inoculated 100 more logs each year in subsequent years, our average number of logs producing each year is 400.

    We have enough growing to sell at the Steep Falls Farmers' Market, to local restaurants, Pine Root Farm, and Shiitake Mushroom Shares.

Learn how to Grow your Own

Each year when we inoculate in late April or early May, depending on the weather, we invite folks to come join us to learn how to grow Shiitake Mushrooms on Oak Logs.  Watch our facebook page and newsletter for date and time for these sessions or contact us in the spring to sign up.

Purchase your own Log

      Want to grow some mushrooms yourself?  You can purchase one of our logs for $35.00 and you'll be eating healthy shiitake mushrooms for 3-5 years.  You must be patient, though.  Most logs won't produce any mushrooms until next year. We bring logs to the Steep Falls Farmers' Market, or you can contact us to pick one up. 

Shiitake Mushroom Share

     Oh my, these most beautiful, nutritious, and firm mushrooms we've ever eaten will be shared with you.  This is an unusual share,  because it will be available when we are 'flush' with mushrooms , and you get your whole 5 lbs. in one batch (and that's a lot of mushrooms), so be prepared to use and preserve them quickly.  We will notify you for your pickup, generally in August or early September.  If more shares become available earlier, we will post here.

     This share for $60.00 is quite the savings, because at the farmers' market, they sell for $16.00 a pound.
