Recently, because Healthy Home Harvest LLC is becoming so well known for the fine gourmet mushrooms we grow, I have gotten quite a few questions about mushrooms. So I will try to answer most of them in this short discussion about the wonderful world of mushrooms!
One of the most basic questions that I get is “What the heck IS a mushroom anyway?” One would think that this would be very easy and straight forward to answer, right? Well, yes and no.
When: Saturday, February 20th from 9:00am until 1:00pm.
Where: The Stone Church, Newmarket NH.
The February 20 Newmarket Farmers Market is going to be exciting; as we hope to unveil our first ever winter crop of Shiitake mushrooms! As always, we will have some of our oyster mushrooms along with bags of various fresh-picked winter greens and herbs. Dr. Tomato and James will be there, as always, to answer any of your gardening and growing questions.
The venue is small and intimate. The vendors are diverse, enthusiastic and friendly. There is great food available and some very talented live musicians provide first class entertainment. The feeling is more like a family gathering than a trip to the local store. We look forward to seeing you at the next Newmarket Farmers Market!
For those of you not familiar with Newmarket, the Stone Church is up on the hill behind the Post Office in downtown Newmarket. This is our favorite farmers market! Good atmosphere, live music, some wonderful vendors, good food and a variety of products. See you there!
Fosters Daily Democrat has published an article written by John Nolan, about the Gardener’s Forum hosted by Dr Tomato on Feb. 3rd.
Many of you have been asking if we were going to be able to produce more of our widely renowned mushrooms to meet your ever expanding demand. Well, you asked for it and it is here. Starting in about a week, we will be dramatically increasing our growing capacity AND adding several new varieties. Growing mushrooms successfully is a demanding process that requires a great deal of precision. Our new growing chamber will allow us to offer you our unsurpassed, organically grown gourmet mushrooms in quantities that should meet your culinary logistic demands! New varieties will include Shiitake (yes, Shiitake mushrooms year round!), Lion’s Mane and probably Beech Mushrooms. We are planning to offer the first wave of new varieties at the Newmarket Farmers’ Market to be held February 20th at the Stone Church in Newmarket. Come visit us and the other vendors. I’ve said it before – THIS IS A GREAT MARKET! The Newmarket Farmers’ Market – New Hampshire’s FIRST and ONLY year round Farmers’ Market!
Dr. Tomato would like to thank the Farmington Public Library and community for a fun and enthusiastic gardening forum. He’s looking forward to seeing our Farmington friends again soon. Farmington Library is trying to make their gardening forum an ongoing event for the community. They have some fun and educational events coming up. Be sure to check them out…we’ll keep you posted in the next newsletters.
