On today’s podcast, I’m joined by Mike Hatfield of Flyway Family Farm in southern Illinois. Mike along with his wife and young daughter have a 9 1/2 acre homestead where they do a little bit of everything but their main crop is mushrooms.
Mike shares with us a little bit about how he and his wife got into homesteading and how they eventually ended up focusing on mushrooms as their cash crop.
Mike and I discuss a variety of topics.
The process of growing mushrooms indoors and outdoors.
The business of selling mushrooms at Farmers Markets and through a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).
The medicinal benefits of mushrooms.
The possible environmental benefits of growing mushrooms.
How to get started growing mushrooms on your homestead.
