Join Sundown Hazen of Chesed Farms for a workshop to explore the fascinating world of mushrooms! Just like the mycelial network beneath our feet, the conversation can take many interesting turns. Feel free to bring your questions and curiosities about fungi to help shape the discussion.
Fungi play a vital role in our ecosystems, local food systems, and medicine, with new and beneficial uses being discovered all the time.
Chesed Farms began supplying local mushrooms to Walla Walla in 2020 and has since become the largest gourmet mushroom producer within a three-hour drive of our community. Through this journey, Sundown has gained a wealth of knowledge in mushroom cultivation, sales, and distribution.
We’ll cover a range of topics, such as cultivation, foraging, the medicinal and nutritional benefits of mushrooms, cooking with mushrooms, the gourmet mushroom industry, innovative uses of mushrooms, the history of Chesed Farms, and what the future holds for Chesed Farms.
We’ll also show you the mushroom growing process and offer a selection of fresh and freeze-dried mushrooms for purchase at the workshop’s end.

Jim Hodges’ “Unearthed” exhibition is a monumental bronze cast of an uprooted tree stump. The truncated form resonates with majesty while also serving as a mournful reminder of humankind’s impact upon the natural world. The sculpture is suspended in stillness, suggesting what might have been above, stretching branches that had reached into the air towards the sun that once contained life in green and barky rough wildness. With this implication, and through our interaction with the sculpture, “Unearthed” opens generative thought toward relationships between environments and their communities. The work beckons us to consider fragility, ephemerality, as well as the sacredness of life.
This work-in-becoming had its first residency in San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral in 2019. Imagine that in the confines of that edifice the sculpture absorbed metaphysical power from everyday spiritual practice, from a celebration of life observed in rites of faith, musical performances, readings, by a community’s presence, participation, and social interaction. “Unearthed” has its second residency at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Washington State University, providing the academic and regional community an occasion to approach the work through intentional participation.
In time, its roots will be reunited with the ground through burial, transferring its accumulated goodwill charged with incorporeal memories and energies into the Earth. Only its severed trunk will remain visible, indicating a new role in nature.
