He then drives them back to his surprisingly modern facility across the street from his home. There his team cleans and prepares the mushrooms using just olive oil and salt. They are then jarred and shared with the greater world.
This innovative company has helped pull this tiny town forward from a subsistence level to a prosperous village. We were proudly shown the town museum including rough linen clothing and tools of drudgery that were used only a generation ago. It was an amazing site, and we hope our support will contribute to the villagers' new-found vitality. (close)
