Shiitake Growers,

I'm glad to announce UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture will be able to provide up to four 5lb bags of WR-46 spawn and 10lbs of wax to growers who are willing to track an additional year of inoculation and harvest records for 100 bolts inoculated this year.

This opportunity will be available first to NE SARE research project participants and alternates.  If we don't get 20 growers who are interested, we will open up the opportunity to other growers who would like to become involved. 

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO INDICATE YOU ARE INTERESTED- via email at ben.waterman@uvm.edu or via phone at (802) 656-9142.

Our goals are similar to those last year at the start of the SARE research project:  -- to share some of the risk for growers in the first years of starting enterprises; to encourage good record keeping and enterprise planning practices; and to track critical data on Shiitake mushrooms as a viable agroforestry enterprise so other growers can gain knowledge from research results.

The offer for free spawn this year is supplementary to the ongoing SARE project.  SARE research project participants-- Please continue to keep records for last year's inoculated logs as part of the SARE project.


Feel free to contact me at 802 656 9142 or ben.waterman@uvm.edu with any questions, thank you,

Ben Waterman
