Ben Framed I'm not really farming mushrooms yet. Just checking it out for viability.
I have 30 logs now and grow enough for family and friends. I have talked to a couple of restaurants about their supply needs.
It takes a few years to develop a steady flow of produce. The picture represents a $20-30 retail value of shiitake mushrooms. So I am becoming very interested.
I was talking to a neighbor near the farm and she turned me on to the process. Seems easy enough if you don't mind manual labor. I have the space and environment to produce a good amount. Finding buyers 2-3 years from now is being researched.
I plan to visit a few growers and check out their operation.
