What is
"SOURCE Shout-Out?"
In an effort to keep our customers connected to a community of
high-quality foods straight from the SOURCE, we bring a feature product
to the table, to share with you each week. Whether this is a
product that you already carry or something new to consider, this
allows us to share the stories behind the sustainable products that we
all love and enjoy. We invite you to share this information among
your retail/restaurant teams and with your customers, so that together
we can trace the path of where our food is coming from. Thank you
for playing such an integral role in our food system.
May the SOURCE be with YOU!

Blue
Oyster Mushrooms
from Turtle
Springs Farms
"Turtle Springs Mushrooms was established at the
beginning of 2013 with the purpose of providing a source of fresh high
quality food to our local communities, while also serving as the
foundation of our biodynamic farm. Our small family farm has been
raising small numbers of pasture-raised heritage Pork, grass fed Beef,
and free range Poultry since 2000. In our quest to develop a
sustainable pasture and forage-based system for these animals, Turtle
Springs Mushrooms was developed with the philosophy that in order to
produce a sustainable food system, the foundation starts with the soil.
Mushrooms are Mother Nature's soil creators; through their endless
quest to break down organic matter into nutrient rich soil, they
simultaneously produce a nutritious source of food.
We are beginning this venture focusing of the production of organically
grown blue oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus Ostreatus Columbinus). This cold
weather variety produces beautiful dark blue clusters, that lighten
with maturity. These mushrooms are a high value source of protein,
vitamin D and, even when cooked, they retain significant antioxidant
properties.
Due to the meticulous nature of mushroom cultivation we have decided to
focus on these blue oyster mushrooms this winter before diversifying
into other species. By spring 2014, Turtle Springs Mushrooms will start
the beginning phase of expanding into a more diverse gourmet and
medicinal mushroom farm.
We hope you enjoy the delish taste and texture of our mushrooms and we
look forward to providing a variety of fresh local food in the years to
come."
Thank you for sharing your story with us Nick Arnold,
Mushroom Cultivator & Local Food Enthusiast. Our team at SOURCE Local
Foods is excited to offer this gorgeous, new mushroom variety, fresh
from Longmont, to our restaurants and retailers.
