We are excited to invite you to a hands-on, youth-led workshop on Thursday, September 18th, 2025, at 1:30 PM. Young scholars at Uhuru Farms will guide participants in cultivating Pink Oyster Mushrooms using food-grade buckets.

In small groups of 4–5, participants will be led through the mushroom-growing process step by step, using:

• Sterilized straw
• Pink oyster mushroom spores (fruiting blocks from The Purple Mushroom)
• 5-gallon food-grade buckets with pre-drilled holes

Together, we will layer the straw and spores—just like making lasagna—to create the perfect growing environment. This will be a unique opportunity to learn sustainable growing practices directly from our students while engaging in an interactive and memorable activity.

*Participants will need to bring a chair*
