Wow, what an experience!

Loved learning from Tatrina at The Purple Mushroom urban farm in Columbia!

It's not every day you get to see how mushrooms are grown, right?

Tatrina shared so much knowledge and showed us her beautiful farm with all the different species.

We even got to learn how to start our own grow kits!

Check out this recap video for a glimpse into the fascinating world of urban mushroom farming.
