SUMMARY:On-Farm Mushroom Spawn Production Trial
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Owl is really two unique\, but complementary\, farming operations that fit nicely into the cycle of seasons: a small herb farm that produces culinary and crafting herbs\, and heirloom fruits\, flowers\, and vegetables for sale at local markets; plus a 130-acre tree farm focused on log-grown culinary mushrooms\, native nuts and berries\, and a variety of woody crafting materials. We will focus our farmer exchange on forest farming and especially on mushroom production. Blue Owl owner Janell Baran and Andy Gedeon of Soul Shine Earth will discuss their current study to compare the costs and benefits of raising mushroom spawn on-farm vs. purchasing commercially available spawn. Register at forms.gle/aigtw5mWyZfqqV5z8. \nNoon-3 p.m. Technical Woods Walk – Overview of the Forest Farm\n3-4 p.m. Refreshments and Discussion\n4-6:30 p.m. On-Farm Mushroom Spawn Production Trial \nThis event is being held in conjunction with Rural Action’s Technical Woods Walk. Participants may attend the Woods Walk\, the Research Discussion\, or both. Registration is limited due to parking constraints. Carpooling is strongly encouraged! \nQuestions: Contact Cassy Brown at (330) 263-3634 or brown.1844@osu.edu \nThis event is a part of the Organic Farmer Researcher Network’s Fall Farmer Exchanges Series. The Organic Farmer Researcher Network is a group of organic and transitioning farmers\, supported by agricultural professionals and researchers\, who meet regularly to discuss emerging issues\, possible projects\, and recent or ongoing research. The group is facilitated by staff from OEFFA\, Ohio State\, and Central State University. Learn more or register at offer.osu.edu/fall-farm-exchanges.
