Description

Learn the tools and techniques to grow gourmet mushrooms! Join Grow Food Northampton to learn about cultivating shiitake and oyster mushrooms in a hands-on workshop to grow mushrooms for the Giving Garden. We are expanding our fresh mushroom donations to local partners. Participants will engage in the multi-step process of inoculating hardwood logs for mushroom cultivation.  Come prepared to get your hands dirty! Shiitake logs can weigh up to 15 lb, we will be using drills, and hot wax. Participation is limited to 8 people. Wear closed-toed shoes and appropriate clothing for garden work. Contact Ellena if you have your own battery powered drill that you can bring to the workshop. The base price for tickets is $10 per workshop. We encourage BIPOC participants, those experiencing economic hardship, and those from systemically marginalized communities to opt for a fee that works for you. And we encourage those who wish to help GFN increase our support for low income and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) gardeners to pay more than the base fee. Please opt for a fee that works for you and that fairly represents your ability to support our work. If you want to pay $0, please email [email protected] and we will register you.
