Hi, y’all! Johanna here from the TX Soil Sisters.

(Show below w/ links of things we talk about. Or skip my fluff and listen here.)

Crystal and I visited Fallen Oak Mycology to chat with the founder, Josh Googins, and COO Zahia Tawil, exploring the intersection of fungi, hemp, and regenerative agriculture.

You can see some of the pictures and videos from our tour of the facilities below.

Our podcast conversation delves into how fungi and hemp can be harnessed for soil remediation, sustainable farming, and building.

The episode discusses innovative nature-based solutions for fashion, construction, and plastic waste. Josh and Zahia share the realities, challenges, and creativity of scaling a sustainable mushroom operation.

And if you’re curious to grow fungi and up your culinary game, the duo share practical insights into at-home cultivation and preparing mushrooms like a chef.

Happy farming and healthy living, y’all!

Love,

Jo (and Crystal) ❤️
