The season for mushrooms
Our Latest Mushroom Course
Autumn is the dream season for mycologists. We were not disappointed during our recent mushroom course in October as we discovered a great range of local mushrooms on our wander through the woods. We made some birch polypore tincture during the course, which was a sell-out, and we were once again lucky to have fantastic weather. A few of the cows even came up to say hello!
We will be running further courses next year down on the farm. So sign up below, or alternatively, this would make a fantastic Christmas present.
Markets and Events
We have been to lots of local markets in Chepstow, Bristol, Cardiff and Hay on Wye. We have a regular slot on Saturdays at Whiteladies Road in Bristol and details of other markets can be found on the website or our instagram.
We have visited further festivals, including WOMAD in July where it was possible to add functional mushroom powders to your coffee to maximise your festival energy and also the Abergavenny Food Festival in September where we sold our full product range.
Hot off the Press
We were delighted to receive a five-star rating after a recent visit from the food hygiene inspectorate, who are rightly known to have very high standards!
We have continued to expand our product range and are pleased to introduce our Lion’s mane and Shiitake tinctures available in the online store. We will soon be introducing reishi tincture along with a mixed mushroom extract.

The 7th UKI Medicinal Mushrooms Conference
Watch out for Ben’s talk at the seventh. UKI medicinal mushrooms conference in Wiltshire on the 18th and 19th of November.
