One of my favorite activities is hitting the farmers market every week. I've made friends with so many local growers and crafters in my community. Two gentlemen started to sell gourmet mushrooms and free range, pasture raised eggs last year, but this year they are a no- show. This post has me thinking I could do this at home and whatever don't eat, I could sell to my regular vendors or to the public directly. One of my favorite things to do with shiitake mushrooms, is to roast them because they have a flavor and texture similar to bacon. So freaking good.

I have upvoted this article and will be featuring it in my daily hidden gems blog. Awesome piece and I hope you have more coming in this same area.
