  I am a Shiitake mushroom grower in Western New York. My wife Julie and I raise mushrooms on our 200 acre farm and we have 1400 logs in production at this time. We have been growing shiitake's for 4 years now and are learning new things about raising mushrooms and ideas for better production yields on the logs in production every year. We inoculate approximately 400 to 500 logs a year and are getting to the volume now where we can have a fairly constant flow of mushroom harvesting through out the summer. We market our mushrooms through the Williamsville Farmers Market in Buffalo which includes fresh, dried and value added products like Shiitake Pate' and Shiitake Mushroom Barley soup. We also are certified organic in our mushroom production along with veggies, pastured chicken broilers and eggs. We also raise grass fed beef on certified organic pastures.
