Goals, Values, Vision
I would like to grow or help add value to any farm or land owner that could use me. My special interests include higher end gourmet mushrooms. I have my mushroom broker license and can certify species harvested from any private woods for sale so long as they are on the approved species list. I can also assist regenerative farmers in planning out mushroom farming operations which can also later be used to create some of the best soil you can get for your fields. Along with the mushrooms come the trees, nut trees, fruit trees, different species to bring in game or grow certain types of mushrooms. I can assist in forage fed livestock raising as well, helping you create a forest that feeds the animals and you more than just pasture. Famrers looking to add value to their field, field edges, forests and orchards are who I can help/ work with the most. I can help layer plant and animal species to create low maintence environments that add lots of value.

Farming Plans and Practices
Farming Method
Organic Practices, Conventional
I can offer assistance with soil remediation to remove certain contaminents from the land. Many farms, especially organic farms can benefit from adding an extra crop of gourmet mushrooms to what they grow. Mushrooms can help breakdown and utilize soiled straw, rotten timber, wood chips, sawdust, mulch, manure, and living timber. The spent mushroom food itself can be composted quickly into a high quality peat like soil. You can extract extra money from what would have otherwise been waste. If you have unused forest land around your farm I'd be happy to add you to my mushroom harvest list, we can pay per acre or per pound harvested.
