Join us for this 60 minute workshop and learn how to turn waste into profit
Maybe you are exploring ways to grow your farm's income while staying true to your values - and caring for your soil.
Perhaps you're curious about increasing soil fertility, improving forest health, or finding new uses for the waste materials already on your land.
Mushrooms can offer all of this, while providing a profitable, in-demand product that generates health and food sovereignty.
You’re a farmer, homesteader, or land steward looking for:
✱ New revenue streams that fit you regenerative values
✱ Ways to increase soil fertility and forest health
✱ A crop that uses waste materials you already have on hand
✱ Practical guidance without a huge equipment investment
Whether you’re already growing vegetables, managing livestock, or tending woodlands, mushrooms can add both profitability and ecological benefits to your operation.
1. The Big Picture of Regenerative Mushroom Farming
2. How to Start on a Small Budget
3. Market Opportunities in Gourmet & Medicinal Mushrooms
4. Turning Mushrooms into Value-Added Products
5. Your Path to Scaling
We've been doing this for 30 years. We've tried, failed, tried again, and learned a lot.
The market is exploding at the same time our forests are being critically degraded.
We see an opportunity to train people to grow mushrooms and regenerate the forests.
We're here to help farmers and growers:
✱ Increase income without taking on heavy debt
✱ Integrate mushrooms into diversified farm operations
✱ Build resilience for you, your business and the land
Your learning will be guided by a team rooted in Indigenous regenerative practice, eco-psychology, and applied mycology—and you’ll join a growing movement of people doing this work across the world.
Christopher Parker (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians) — Farmer and educator, specializing in Indigenous regenerative agriculture. Chris has been cultivating mushrooms for over 30 years, maintains a diverse culture library of fungal strains highly adapted to the Southern Appalachians and teach online and in-person.
Katherine Parker PhD — Eco-psychologist, educator, storyteller, and co-author of The Mycelial Healer. Expert in applied eco-mycology and myco-regeneration.
✱ The mushroom market is projected to double over the next decade
✱ Farmers growing mushrooms now are positioned to profit from this rapid expansion
✱ Early producer can build strong customer relationships
✱ And multiple product lines from one crop
✱ All the while adding soil fertility and biodiversity to your land
✱ Our soils and forests need your help now
And when you integrate mushrooms with our methods, you’re not just joining a market—you’re joining a movement. You’ll become an early node in our mycelial network of regenerative growers—sharing knowledge, markets, and resources across regions. The sooner you join, the sooner those connections can start working for you.
Reciprocity is at the heart of our work. Our farm is on Cherokee land, so when we work in the virtual realm we like to funnel support to our Cherokee relatives.
