At the edge of civilization on Texada Island, where the pavement ends and the forest begins, John cultivates shiitake mushrooms the old way—with patience, care, and 20 acres of pristine woodland.
Traditional shiitake cultivation using sustainable forest practices. Each mushroom is lovingly grown on carefully selected logs.
Learn the art of mushroom cultivation from someone who lives and breathes it. Hands-on courses in the heart of the forest.
A regular volunteer and storyteller, sharing tales of mining days, Texada flower rock, and red hot beat poetry by the fire.
In his small log cabin deep in the woods, John lives amongst the deer with his faithful companion Una. The forest is his home, his classroom, and his sanctuary.
Sit by the fire long enough, and you'll hear stories of mining adventures, the mysteries of Texada's rare flower rock, or perhaps a spontaneous recitation of beat poetry that echoes through the trees.
This is more than mushroom farming—it's a way of life at the edge of civilization, where nature and knowledge intertwine.
Your support helps maintain these 20 acres of forest, continue sustainable mushroom cultivation, and keep the courses and community programs thriving.
