MaiLee's Mountain Mushroom Expansion - $3,000

Jim has grown shiitake mushrooms since 2007, as well as a variety of fruits and vegetables since 2000. With the award, he will raise a climate controlled production house to ensure the year-long production of Shiitake & Lions Mane mushrooms.

They will be grown indoors on logs, as opposed to sawdust. He will sell at tailgate markets, to local restaurants & businesses and online through his website.
