If you can make it to Virginia the weekend of October 23rd-25th, and are interested in forest farming, consider attending the Gather to Grow Forest Farming Conference. We will be giving a short presentation about building our mushroom forest farm on Saturday morning from 10:15 -10:45am. We will touch on topics such as: site selection, sustainable forest management, grants, and income sources. Q&A session will follow. Andy will be speaking on a forest farmers panel Sunday morning from 8:30-9:30am as well. It should be a great weekend for learning about cultivating a variety of non-timber forest products, including mushrooms and botanicals. https://www.appalachianforestfarmers.org/gather-to-grow
