Do you want to know more about the most profitable gourmet mushrooms to grow? Insider Monkey recently published an article about this topic giving you some very useful tips. As for me, I have a little farm with huge shephard dogs, hunter dogs, cats, chickens, ducklings, a mini cow and some rabbits. I sell eggs, milk, cheese and some meat sometimes. I do farming beacuse I want to know what I eat. As the saying tells us: you are what you eat. I firmly believe it’s worth investing a little farm, since people in the city have realized products coming from farms directly are much better and healthier.
I am planning to grow mushrooms either. Not only because I love cooking and eating them, but yes, they are very profitable. You can buy pre-grown mushroom sacks and just you put them into the cellar, and violiá! you can harvest! Of course not every mushroom is so easy to grow, but what is true, it is worth considering it.
