Hi there! I’m still here shrooming along, but I’ve made the decision this year to down-scale production and spend more time in the shroom lab, which is why I’ve been missing in action at the farmers’ markets. Although I really miss seeing your smiling faces on the regular, I just can’t do it all! But don’t…

“Where do you live?” It’s a question I field often, and the answer has changed several times over the last five years. First, there was the caravan on my parents’ farm in Milton, then a tent in Tabourie, and finally, the back of my van, no fixed address. It’s been an exciting and rewarding experiment,…

Our worlds can be defined in many ways. Our tax bracket; chosen profession; sexuality; knowledge of pop culture. These external definitions shape us and even dictate how we spend our time and talents. Are we acting like other people our own age? Dressing the same? Are we ‘successful’ enough?

Life should be simple. We often make it hard by adding more and more external layers to it. Work as a chore, hobbies we begrudgingly keep up for appearances. Cupboards full of clothes we don’t wear and stuff we don’t use. We’re suffocated by layers. We trundle through our days like the Michelin man, ricocheting…
