Chris Gilmour
Chris was introduced to mushroom cultivation and wild foraging over 20 years ago while apprenticing in permaculture and sustainable forest management on Seven Ravens Farm.
Today, Chris live on a twenty-six-acre homestead with his wife Laura where they grow and forage food for themselves and their wild foraged foods business, Wild Muskoka Botanicals.
"Growing and foraging mushrooms has been a complete game changer on our homestead. It is one of the quickest and easiest ways to grow an entire year's worth of food in a small space with relatively low work compared to other garden crops.
Over the past two decades, we have learned many tricks and tips that can help speed up your learning curve and improve your self-reliance, food security and connection to the land.
We hope you can join us for this upcoming free class!"
