September Midlands+ Meetup at Uhuru Farms Sustainability Institute

September 18, 2025 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm UTC+0
We are excited to invite you to a hands-on, youth-led workshop on Thursday, September 18th, 2025, at 1:30 PM. Young scholars at Uhuru Farms will guide participants in cultivating Pink Oyster Mushrooms using food-grade buckets. In small groups of 4–5, participants will be led through the mushroom-growing process step by step, using:
  • Sterilized straw
  • Pink oyster mushroom spores (fruiting blocks from The Purple Mushroom)
  • 5-gallon food-grade buckets with pre-drilled holes
Together, we will layer the straw and spores—just like making lasagna—to create the perfect growing environment. This will be a unique opportunity to learn sustainable growing practices directly from our students while engaging in an interactive and memorable activity. *Participants will need to bring a chair*
