Mushroom CSA is a living, breathing model of a practice in Sustainable Farming. This process is evolving, ever-changing, adapting and growing to feed local food to local folks.

In order to bring this research and development to another level of growth as well as the ability to provide fresh and clean homegrown products to shareholders, fundraising is necessary!

Starting from the ground up, I began the practice of mushroom cultivating right here in Northern Michigan ten years ago, working farm to farm to gain the skills and experience to develop mushrooming concepts for sustainable year-round growing. Already, I have established a mobile model with insulated semi trailers for grow rooms and a rolling laboratory built out of an old ice cream truck. Now it’s time for my projects to take root and I’m headed to Leelanau County, where by the grace of God, a land contract awaits for ten acres with 100-plus year-old farm house and barn, still standing strong.

Restoration and innovation converging, past and future meeting in the same place to create a farm model that could last another 100 years and help strengthen the county’s farm block at a time when locally-grown food is the answer.

This is my call to arms to give a hand to feed more mouths with local whole foods and medicine.

A model is being built as a response to this ever-changing world and climate. Northern Michigan has many farming challenges and I believe in finding answers.

Please help me create and paint my picture of sustainable farming, if you can, and donate or purchase your very own custom Mushroom CSA share today!
