Challenges with shipping... We are now shipping orders with Fedex but unfortunately, they are 30-40% more expensive. This is frustrating for us as well as we know shipping was already a big consideration when placing orders with us. For the moment, we are absorbing this cost but that does mean we lose money on each order placed. We are also having challenges adding Fedex rates to our Shopify store. Hopefully the strike ends soon!

When one grows lots of mushrooms to test, one ends up eating lots of mushrooms! Meghan took something like 1,000 photos of mushrooms this summer and alas - most photos have not yet been tagged and sorted... Here are a couple of fun ones.

We grew the most mushrooms ever this summer!

We are currently working on our May outdoor growing orders. We spent two days putting together the pickup orders and the shipping orders! There are still a couple that aren't quite ready yet but thankfully - it's not yet May!

Most common outdoor spawn order of 2024 - one blue oyster and one wine cap!

We are nearing the end of our Calgary pickup location. Meghan's parents are moving (after 35 years!) and with that, we are no longer able to offer free Calgary pickups. As Meghan's parents came to the farm every weekend, we were able to send orders to Calgary for no additional cost. Now, if we have to pay someone or make a special trip, it's cheaper to send via Canada Post. We still offer free pickup at the farm!

Thinking about outdoor growing?! We are! Yes, there is snow outside but still time to order to add mushrooms to your gardens.

We have lots of Wine Cap and Shaggy Mane sawdust spawn started and growing out in the blue room. New product this year: Wine Cap peg spawn.

Meghan and Whiskey have been enjoying some stolen outdoor moments! Planning the summer garden while out in the snow.

Dreaming about Wine Caps this summer?! We are! There is still time to order spawn for this season! If you live on the prairies, choose May. If you live in a warmer area, April may be ok. Most people order way too early. It's still winter out there!

Coming soon! We'll be adding peg spawn (Wine Caps) and dowels (most species). As with all the rest of our spawn, these will be made to order so there will be the normal delay before shipping!

The first photo is what pearl oyster straw buckets should look like when they fruit! The second photo is what they look like when it's -35C outside, the wood stove is running 24/7 and the humidity in our house is between 16% and 25%. You cannot mist enough for the mushrooms to survive the low humidity!

After the past three months of watching beautiful mushrooms fruit in the greenhouse, it became time to acquiesce to the change of seasons. Watching the mushrooms grow gives us so much joy! They are beautiful and delicious!

Tara asked me to take a video harvesting Wine Caps after I sent a beautiful photo of new fruits! I went out later that day to find Wine Cap Armageddon... Sorry Tara! Squirrels and deer apparently like the mushrooms too...
