Mushrooms – Here They Come Again

The heavy rain in recent days has started the Shiitake Mushrooms Logs once again.

Shiitake Mushrooms are one of the most popular of specialty mushrooms. They are high in B Vitamins and also provide Vitamin D.

They support cardiovascular health, improve energy levels and brain function, reduce inflammation and support the immune system.

Use Shiitake Mushrooms in stir-fry or stuff and bake. Add stems to broth for flavor and added nutrition.

The ‘Ahhs’ Have It – Simply Fermenting

It was a full house at the fermenting workshop that was held Friday afternoon at The Lost Arts House @ Blue Hen Farm. A good time was had by all and the “Salsa” and “Sauerkraut” results were scrumptious!
