SOLD OUT | Regenerative Mushroom Production

Join us for an afternoon of hands-on learning and take home the knowledge to grow your own delicious mushrooms! Discover how to transform waste into a thriving mushroom harvest.

Participants will split into two groups and rotate through both activities.
