What you buy at the farmers market passes through just a few hands… your farmers and then yours… before reaching your plate. No middleman distributor, driver crossing the country, or stock person involved. Distance is everything when it comes to food being fresh and tasty. And there’s no questioning that local is best. Farmers markets are the shortest distance for food to travel (other than gathering it right out of the field!)

Pink oysters hit the pan, hissed, curled, and filled the kitchen with pure morning glory. Butter, eggs, American cheese — all melting into a toasted bagel. Mushrooms for breakfast aren’t polite… they’re perfect. 🍄🥯

The Italian Brown Oyster mushroom, also known as the Phoenix Oyster (Pleurotus pulmonarius), is a warm-weather variety of oyster mushroom prized for its rich, nutty flavor and meaty texture. It typically has a soft tan to light brown cap with slightly curled edges and grows in elegant, shelf-like clusters. Compared to the more common Pearl Oyster, the Italian Brown Oyster has a firmer structure and a more developed umami profile, making it a favorite among chefs for grilling, sautéing, or using in hearty pastas, risottos, and stir-fries.

Cultivating this mushroom is particularly rewarding during warmer months, as it thrives in higher temperatures (typically 65–80°F) and moderate humidity. It’s known for fast colonization and vigorous growth, though it can be a bit finicky when it comes to pinning and fruiting evenly. For growers, it’s important to maintain consistent air exchange and avoid overly high CO₂ levels, which can cause elongated stems and smaller caps. When grown well, Phoenix Oysters produce large, attractive clusters that hold up well in transport and have a respectable shelf life—making them a great choice for both direct-to-consumer sales and restaurant accounts.

✨ It’s a Gut Feeling ✨

Imagine a place that fosters your well-being—where community, health, and connection converge. That’s The Lucky Gut Collective. 💛

The Lucky Gut Collective is launching this spring with a mission to heal the gut—providing wellness workshops, cooking classes, fresh grab-and-go meals, supplements, local produce, and more to support your journey to optimal health.

As we honor relationships this month, remember the most vital one: the relationship with yourself—and at its core is the profound connection between your brain and your gut. Did you know your brain and gut are in constant communication? Enhancing gut health can boost mental clarity, mood, and overall well-being.

Discover more about the gut-brain connection by signing up here (www.luckygut.co) for our newsletter and blog, and receive one free mocktail upon opening. This is a condensed version of our monthly blog "Lucky Gut Love Notes" (by Hillary Landry, MA, CNC, one of our wellness workshop facilitators!).
