Beginning farmers young and old have their work cut out for them: while
their passion and persistence may be strong, the barriers to getting
started can often seem overwhelming and even impossible. Enter Shiitake
as perhaps one of the best candidates as a niche crop, at least in the
Northeastern US. The markets are more or less wide open, with consumers
and chefs eager to get their hands on this tasty and nutritious food.
