Spring has sprung!

It’s been a busy few weeks at the farm!

We have officially finished our mushroom log inoculation and ended up with about 30 logs each of shitake and oyster mushrooms. We will keep the logs shaded and watered through the spring and summer, and they will be ready for harvest in the fall! We can’t wait to share them with you.

We also planted a new bed of wine cap mushrooms, which will be ready mid-summer.  These mushrooms have a giant red top and are a great source of umami flavor for any dish.

While the mushrooms grow, we are turning our attention to the next planting season. Buds have begun to appear on our maple trees, which signifies the end of syrup production and the beginning of spring! We will be planting onions and potatoes in our first two raised beds soon and look forward to planting the rest of our veggies later this spring.

The farm is not just for produce. We are currently developing a small (free!) disc golf course for everyone to enjoy when they visit the farm. It will be designed by our very own Digital Media Director, Noah Keates. Get your throwing arms ready! 

Finally, we wanted to thank all of you for the ENORMOUS outpouring of support we’ve received as we begin this new adventure! We do it all at Tripping Gnome Farm, but none of this would be possible without our incredible community. THANK YOU!
