$40
Starting bid
FMV Priceless
Visit and learn about growing mushrooms from Air Force Veteran and veteran grower Cortland V. Carrington III in this behind-the-scenes tour of American Mushroom for up to 6 guests.
The mission of American Mushroom & Spice Company is to produce only the best mushrooms, using responsible and sustainable processes.
"It was during my service in Afghanistan, Iraq, and in the Horn of Africa where it really began to sink into my head, exactly how much food was truly an overlap of our shared humanity. Every human on planet earth eats! I frequently delivered vital foods to the poorest regions of this globe as an aircrew member on the C-130 Hercules during OEF/OIF.
At some point I started to think that fungus could lead us from fighting people to feeding people. This is what drives me now…a simple desire to do what I can in my remaining years to make good fungus foods available for as many people as I can… So please, stop, smile, and enjoy our excellent mushrooms."
