Penn State Great Valley event




Today was a busy day getting ready for an event that Penn State Great Valley was hosting. A Taste of Wyeth featuring a presentation by Victoria Wyeth, granddaughter of Andrew Wyeth was a very well attended event. Before the presentation attendees enjoyed a wine tasting provided by Chadds Ford Winery. To go with the Wine Tasting a few of Chester County's food specialty shops were asked to provide "tastings" of their products. The Mushroom Cap was suggested by Greg from the CCCVB to be one of those shops. We chose to serve our Italian Mushroom Dip stuffed medium white (picked this morning)mushrooms. Everyone who had one wanted a second. What a difference a very fresh picked mushroom makes! We also served our Roasted Portabella Pasta Sauce on small bread slices. Another big hit!

This was a great night for promoting The Mushroom Cap, showing our Mushroom Cap labeled products as well as our "Shiitake Happens" gift basket, and promoting mushrooms as Pennsylvania's No. 1 Cash Crop all along telling everyone that we are located on State Street in Kennett Square!

Snackin' 'Shrooms/ now called Snacknshrooms!

Get ready to taste snackin' 'shrooms! I'm working on them - might be one of those snacks that are really good for you!

Does anyone read my blog?


Been a while since I've written - Since the last post we did have a bus tour visit "The Mush-Room" - That was Thursday, June 18th. A Perkiomen group from Bucks County - The Pearl Buck volunteers. They were great - expected something different but all left with a smile on their face! Anyone interested in our industry video? Those who watched learned a lot about Chester County Mushroom Growing. Mr. bus driver was so nice -he will be sure to tell the Perkiomen groups coming to Longwood Gardens to make a stop in downtown KSQ. This picture shows only a few of the 31 passengers!

Weather was not good. After the bus left the shop we immediately closed to be on our way to the Jimmy Buffett concert in Camden, NJ. Now that's another story! Great time - good friends - past our bedtime but who cared? And we didn't get wet!
