Here's a recent video piece that WHYY public television in Philadelphia did on our farm. Though it might be interesting to some of you.

I really enjoyed that, even the other two segments, but your segment was really awesome. Its always good to see mushrooms getting more attention. I love the gigantic spent pile!

They're from http://www.producepackaging.com
The actual boxes are: http://www.producepackaging.com/Products_Detail.php?ProductID=31

The warehouse is about 45 minutes from us, so we pick them up every few months.

Great little piece on your farm.  So you mention being close to the mushroom capitol of the world, and not being able to compete with them.  So how are you able to compete with them? haha, didn't really go into that in the video.

Thanks

Well we don't grow buttons! Our strength, like most small growers, is freshness and quality. That's how we compete. Plus we've been able to find those restaurants that really believe in supporting small, family farms.

Nice segment, great coverage!  Its really wonderful that you've made this work, with 2 kids too!  We just had our first baby this year; really enjoyable but it changes the game quite a bit.

I don't grow on straw anymore, but I was wondering if you still use hot h20 for your straw or if u use the lime bath instead?  Also you posted links to your boxes, but in the video I saw a box that said shiitake on it; where are those from? One last question (don't feel obligated to answer any of them of you don't want to :cool:) what size is your oyster FC?

Thanks, Aleon, and congrats on your baby. They are the ultimate game changer, and will quickly highlight what is and is not essential in life. It hasn't been an easy road by any account, but we've been working our asses off, and it's finally starting to pay off.

I'm happy to answer any questions about our set up and how we've been able to make it work. We also don't pretend to have all the answers, or be experts at anything. We're constantly learning how to be better growers and business owners.

I'm still using a propane burner for the straw. I haven't been able to find large bags of the correct type of lime yet. Once I can find some locally (I know it must exist) we'll do some runs and see how it compares.

I forgot that those shiitake boxes were also in the shot. They come from Iron Linx, and are the standard boxes that most distros around here use.

We have two oyster rooms that are each 11'x14'. The shiitake/lions mane/everything else room is half the size of the oyster rooms. Also currently working on building three new rooms in our barn which will each be 11'x35'. I'll definitely be posting some info on all that as it progresses.

Thanks for the reply woodland, and if your here I wouldn't mind chatting some more :cool:  Are your fc's in your house now, or somewhere else?  How are you going to go about building your new larger grow rooms, with respect to insulation, HVAC systems, and humidifiers?  I would like to add a 20x40' FC this year, but it would have to be outside, as I have no barn to put it in.  The main things I need to research is what is the best type of sturcture (metal building, greenhouse frame, etc) what kind and how much insulation, and HVAC (heating in winter, cooling in summer).  If you can or would like to shed any light on how you will aproach building your future fc's in regard to these aspects that would be most appreciated. Also Do you have a walk-in-cooler? And what type of delivery vehicle do you use?  Thanks again, your successes are inspiring :dancer:

If I was building something free standing, I would model it after Stamet's grow rooms. Have you ever seen them?

FCs, are in the basement right now. Currently working on retrofitting our old barn. We're going with radiant floor heating and wall-mount AC units. Right now we have a double door commercial fridge for mushroom storage, but we'll be building a walk-in with a Cool-Bot in the barn.
As for delivery, I build a basic box out of 1" insulation board that sits in the bed of a pick up truck. From the box, a shop-vac hose runs to the dashboard vents in the cab, so I can run the AC back to the box. It keeps the mush nice and cool. During the hottest times of the summer, I'll throw a cooler full of ice into the box as well.

Thanks for the reply; I will look into "Stamets style" grow houses. Ingenious about delivery; I had a simialir idea with insulation box but cooling with ac; that's worth a try:cool:  I have a 8x8' walk-in cooler built using the coolbot.  It works quite well, especially since it saved me $1000's compared to a prebuilt unit.  I will say the cool-bot can be a little finicky at times though; but so far it has proven reliable enough (I've run it for over a year now.). Great work again, and I hope your and your family prosper :dancer:

I've also heard that the CoolBot can be finicky, but as you said, it's much more affordable compared to the price of the commercial walk-ins.

On pages 484 in GGMM, there are a few pics of his grow rooms going up. On 485 is a pic of a smaller version. It's really a great design, which I hope to copy someday once we outgrow the barn.

Thanks, Aleon! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

cheers.

Looks pretty legit Bro!  I'm liking the vid.

Especially the part about addressing spawn as seedlings not as seed. And spores as seed.

I picked up my commercial chiller for less that $100 + my time to dismantle and re assemble + $50 for the AC man to de/re commission (tip  -back the gas up into the compressor then flatten the copper pipes to seal before cutting them)

I haven't been able to find large bags of the correct type of lime yet. Once I can find some locally (I know it must exist) we'll do some runs and see how it compares.





Check feed stores.

Ask for Type N high-calcium hydrated lime. Feed stores usually have it for disinfecting stalls and for lining baseball fields. It has to say "high-calcium" as there is a couple types of type N.
Here is the MSDS for mine.
