Sharonview Farm

Posted byChristi IfferganPosted inNorth Carolina, South CarolinaTags:, ,

Monday was exciting! I drove from Longs, SC to Monroe, NC. I stayed at my first Harvest Host location, Sharonview Farm. It was educational and hands-on.

Co-owner Teri Wood took me on a tour of her beautiful farm and shared the wonderful history of the property. It is amazing to see the process for growing mushrooms.

They begin the growing process by drilling holes in the logs and placing mushroom spawn into the holes.
The logs are stacked so that they get air.
These logs have been split in two pieces and the mushroom spawn in placed between and the log pieces are put back together, like a mushroom sandwich. These are called totems.

They grow a lot of mushrooms, but also have herbs, flowers, plants, and beautiful crafts.

This farm was full of activities, walking trails and places to ride bikes.

Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change. Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy. For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way. Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day!
