Planning Unit: Leslie County CES

Major Program: Home & Consumer Horticulture

Plan of Work: Making Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Once in a while even a blind hog can find an acorn. We stumbled across a great idea this year. We introduced mushroom production. A neighboring Agriculture Agent came over and introduced us to growing Shitake mushrooms. In the class we had the educational program then we allowed everyone to inoculate a log for their selves. These participants have been so excited that we have been asked to repeat this program again this year. However, more importantly we have had some to inquire about obtaining the needed items to do the logs themselves. One individual is talking about producing enough to market mushrooms in our area. This will be fun to watch this concept develop and see how far it will go.
