Young Shiitake

Just wanted to say thank you to SWVAL - Southwest Virginia Alternative Living Expo for having Young Shiitake at their 2nd annual Alternative Living Expo last weekend. This is such a great event put on by an amazing group of people who are dedicated in bringing knowledge to Southwest Virginia and beyond on how to create a self-sufficient lifestyle. We met a lot of cool vendors and participants throughout the weekend. Looking forward to next year. 🍄
