Event Details

Mushrooms are not just delicious and medicinal, they are a very low maintenance perennial crop, a mushroom log can produce for up to five years. We will learn several growing techniques and everyone will go home with their own mushrooms. Dress warm, bring a bagged lunch and snacks and be prepared to do some work.

Scott Kellogg is the co-author of the book "Toolbox for Sustainable CityLiving: A Do-it-Ourselves Guide" (South End Press) and the primary teacher of R.U.S.T. - The Radical Urban Sustainability Training, an intensive weekend workshop in urban ecological survival skills. He is a co-founder of Austin, Texas' Rhizome Collective, and worked as the director of its sustainability program from 2000-2009.  He is an experienced teacher, activist, an ecological designer and father and lives in Albany, New York. 

His extensive experience designing and building sustainable systems, including constructed wetlands, aquaculture ponds, biogas and biofuel operations, windmills, passive solar devices, micro-livestock systems and many others. Scott has taught at numerous universities in the US, including Virginia Tech, Wesleyan, Evergreen, University of New Orleans, and Michigan State University.

**********************************************************

These workshops are deliberately designed to be low tech and home-scale and emphasize hands-on-learning so that you can easily incorporate these kitchen arts into your daily or weekly routines. All food demonstrations will send you home with lots of information and samples, when possible. Please peruse the entire schedule - you may want to take more than one!

Annual RFFP membership is $50 and will discount all upcoming events and classes. Discounts are offered for farmers, students and seniors of $30, please use the info email to inquire. We are trying to keep these events as affordable as possible without compromising our teaching staff or materials. We are keeping these classes small and they will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Any questions, please contact info@farmandfood.org.

Let's have some fun!
