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!
