Classes for high school students
Have so “mush” fun growing your own shiitake mushrooms at home. Get expert support setting your grow-block up for success. Learn about the science of the mighty mushroom, including life cycle and anatomy, as well as their role in our diet and environment. We’ll also chat about tips and tricks for a successful harvest, share recipes and storage hacks, and discuss how to make the most of your mushrooms including creative uses for leftovers and ’shroom compost.
This three-part class meets online:
Saturday, May 11 | 11:00 am–12:00 pm
Wednesday, May 15 | 7:00–8:00 pm
Saturday, May 18 | 11:00 am–12:00 pm
Please note: Delivery of growing kits will be made to AHS a few days before the first class. If you cannot pick up the kit at AHS, you should choose the option to ship the kit to your home when registering, $12.00 per enrollment.
Farmer and owner Elizabeth Almeida didn’t start out as a mushroom grower. In 2011, she leased land in Massachusetts’ Merrimack Valley and launched a vegetable CSA.
“I loved being able to feed people, the physical work, being my own boss, having flexible hours so I could care for my two children, solving the diverse problems that come up, and playing a role in the local food movement,”
Fat Moon Farm , Elizabeth Almeida
