The Fortunate Mushroom

12/21/2024

I hope everyone is having a blast throughout the holidays as we close off this year soon. Our farm has slowed down a lot since thanksgiving so I can spend some much needed time with my family, as I don’t get to any other time of the year. Also have had to deal with unexpected personal matters such as losing loved ones, and have had to take my dearest mother to her doctors appointments about once a week. Will kick things back up after holidays are over!
I received lots of texts and calls from customers and acquaintances lately inquiring about the mushrooms we offer through RCM and Foothills Market- we will continue to offer product again very soon after the holidays. It’s just been super tough lately but I don’t want to sound as if I’m putting excuses in front of my work.
See y’all after holidays, Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!

The Annual Arkansas Farm Bureau Farmers Market show has ended! Interacting with the trade show visitors and their curious minds, I had a blast! I also rekindled with my sponsee vendor buddy who went with us to the America’s Food and Beverage show Coy's Southern Eats . My friends over at the Arkansas Department of Agriculture Arkansas Grown and Arkansas Made Beth and Amy, it's always a pleasure to see you lovely ladies! Ruth, Grace, Adam, Amy, Patty, Melissa, India, Angelina, Kyle, and ALL of my vendor buddies that I met, I hope to form lifelong friendships with you all. All of you have such creative products that you showered me with. I can’t wait to try it!
Kat Robinson I am inspired by your passion for authentic yet genuine findings of good foods and the reviving/modifying age-old recipes that society slipped away from. We all should explore good eats in the natural state of Arkansas. Thank you for documenting that. I would love to know more about your projects and philosophies regarding Arkansas cuisine culture!
Thank you to Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation for organizing this event and for sponsoring all the incredible vendors who made it to the show/market. Grown and Arkansas Made your support to us makers and growers is incredible.
Thank you for showing us who we are.

Last day here at the Farmers Market State Convention! This time today, since our oyster mushrooms are slightly drying out from exposure at the market, we will generously add WAY MORE to your order because we don’t want to take our mushrooms back home! Clean us up y’all! It’s been super exciting to meet new people and start new connections. I’ll make an after post about my experience here.
