I came here to look at O’Keeffes and paint three views... and it stopped raining just long enough to paint three views. #watercolor #sketchbook #moleskine #danielsmithwatercolors #crystalbridges #imixedeverygreen

Can you tell I took art history?

Sweden Creek Farm is likely the most productive organic log-grown shiitake farm in the United States. Their prime location nestled in the Ozarks mountains and signature technique allows them to harvest everyday of the year at an average of 1,100 pounds a week. In permaculture we learn how important selection of species and variety can be. Sweden Creek Farm is the only shiitake grower in the United States authorized to grow the propriety strains of shiitake provided by the scientist and Japanese company that originally brought shiitake to North America. Their mushrooms are available locally at @ozarknaturalfoods served at @crystalbridgesmuseum over 40 restaurants and markets in Arkansas, as well as food distributors throughout the US. We learn from their example that by experimenting with micro-climate, technique, and strain, enormous yields and resilience are possible and can result in achieving something that has never been done before quite like it. #Permaculture #Arkansas #Ozarks #shiitake #mushrooms #farming #organic #mycology #pioneer #biodesic #GrowYourOwn #agriculture #sustainability #gardening #crystalbridges #ozarknaturalfoods #Fayetteville #ozark #mountains #swedencreekfarm #growfood (at Sweden Creek Farm)
