Success and Failure - Mushroom logs were a big hit. We sold all the ones we had back in August, all of which fruited at least once. Next year we need to do a bunch more, several varieties and sizes, and keep a separate stock pile for ourselves.
Success and Failure - The straw baskets we did in early spring were doing great to start off, until the water problems started. When the well began messing up and we couldn't water them regularly there was nothing we could do. I think they are a bit too labor intensive, and that next year we should put more concentration on the logs.
Success - The demand. Everyone at the market we sold at were interested in the mushrooms, we had customers asking for them every week. Hopefully next year we will have them to sell more often, if we focus on logs and keep a watchful eye on our own stockpile.
I think this concludes my little success failure series.
It has been a crazy year, I can only imagine what next year will bring our way.
Live simply,
Angela and Jonathan
