Eight years ago while I was getting the farm going I popped into Futo Buta for the first of many ramen bowls. I met chef and talked about the farm and brought him some samples. Futo Buta was one of our first wholesale accounts because of him. He gave an unknown farmer a chance and started to order a lot of mushrooms. Because of that, I had to grow more and more which lead me to acquire even more wholesale accounts. If it wasn't for him believing in me I don't think the farm would be where it is now. Charlotte lost a great one. Rest in power my friend.

Today was a bittersweet day at the Matthews Community Farmers' Market . Our little Ruby is going off to college and today was her last day at the market. She joined us as a high school intern and joined the team after the internship. She's been at my side at market for the last couple of years and has been a trooper at the farm. Don't worry, Ruby will be back to visit in-between higher learning and future girl bossing. We love you Rubicon!

Normally we don't do a lot of picking on Sunday but when it's over a hundred pounds of blotch-less trumpets I don't mind at all.

When we first started in 2015 we were lucky to grow 100 a week. In the not too distant past if we grew 400 it was a good week. Today we harvested 366 of oyster, shiitake and trumpet, for a total of 504 of mushrooms since Monday. We still have other varieties to harvest and five more days left in the week so we will see🍄
