Spend time outdoors and learn about mushrooms in Golden, Canada

Infos

• 

  Description

  I am a 66-year-old single male, and avid gardener and mushroom farmer.
  I live in Golden British Columbia in the Canadian Rockies near Kicking Horse resort and near the confluence of the Kicking Horse River and Columbia River.
  Due to other commitments, I can no longer invest the time I need to in my garden, weeding, bed renewal, and planting, etc.
  I’m an avid fisherman, that finds myself torn between my garden and my desire to catch and eat fish, forage mushrooms etc, and generally get out to enjoy this wonderful area.
  My work life at my Mushroom farm consumes 4 to 12 hours per day.
  I also spend two days per week at farmers markets vending my mushrooms for the summer months.
  I like to eat my own food, I cook every day.
  I try to eat what I grow, or source local, organic food for the balance of my diet.
