Relocalizing VT, Thursday: Homegrown Shrooms; Local Fiber

Past event
Mar 11, 2021, 9 to 10:30 AM

Thursday morning on Goddard College Community Radio: A Vermont mushroom entrepreneur gives away his business secrets, and a New York state local fiber producer talks about making local textiles in the age of lycra and fleece.

9:00 - 10:00 am
I've decided 2021 is going to be the year I learn to grow mushrooms at home, and I'm taking listeners with me on the journey. The oyster mushroom kit I bought is just "pinning," which I've learned is the term for sending out the stubs of what will be mushrooms. My first guest in this series is Beck Ferguson of Mansfield Mushroom Company who will give away for free information to turn you into a competitor—and he'll explain why he's doing that.

Sarah Gotowka founded in upstate New York Luna Fiber Studio "A textile studio specializing in natural dyes and weaving, rooted in sustainability and social justice." She'll talk about how they make local fibers and why people find it attractive.
