A small farm in Cornersville has taken on the task of producing farm to table gourmet mushrooms for friends and neighbors. The small scale operation is run by Alison wolf and her 10 year old son, Ryker. Harvests have included pink, blue, grey dove, yellow and Phoenix oysters; pink oyster mushrooms, or pleurotus djamor, as they are scientifically known, has been the farm favorite during this hot summer season. The farm is also a donkey sanctuary, which is currently home to 5 donkeys....none of which participate much in the mushroom cultivation. The abandoned straw bale construction home at the rear of the property is used as a makeshift barn, as the straw bale construction keeps temperatures fairly cool and ambient year round.
