Virginia Cooperative Extension presents a Virginia Virtual Farm to Table Program titled "Shiitake Mushrooms" on Friday, June 5, 2020. Shiitake Mushrooms loved for their flavor and nutrition, but not for the sticker price at the grocery store. You can grow them yourself with a little investment of time and money if you have the right kind of shade (a small patch of woods is ideal) and patience. Join Adam Downing, Forestry Agent, to learn how and then Jeanell Smith, from the Family Nutrition Program to learn some ways of cooking this delicacy. Virginia agriculture is incredibly diverse, and despite our current challenges, farmers all across the commonwealth are busy keeping food on their customers' tables. In this program, we will take a virtual tour of Virginia farms and learn how food is produced on them. Then we will learn how to prepare new recipes with those foods. All sessions will be offered on Fridays at 2:00 pm, are 40 minutes long, and are open to everyone. To register, visit: https://virginiatech.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OvZpLbH9TLuo93nQP_PZyw. Please register for each session you would like to attend. After registering, you will receive a link to login to the webinar. Recordings of sessions will be posted to this website shortly after the presentation time.
