Lovely fungus

No, not those mushrooms, hippie.� This sort are grown by at Mother Earth Mushrooms in West Grove, PA.� Fair Food is partnering with the Mother Earthers to host a tour of the mushroom farm on Saturday, Sept. 12, discussing the challenges and benefits of growing fungus organically.

Guests will also be treated to a fresh and locally-sourced picnic and have a chance to explore the 24th annual Mushroom Festival in Kennett Square, PA.� Lovable Top Chef runner-up Carla Hall will be doing shroomy cooking demos at the fest, while kids bob for mushrooms and talented amateurs offer up their best bowls in the Soup Contest.

Contact Louisa Amsterdam at farmtours@fairfoodphilly for your reservation to the mushroom picnic, or call 215-386-5211 ex. 113.� Tour and picnic is $25 for adults and $12 for kids aged 6-13.
